Voting opens for directorships on DairyNZ board
DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel will step down in October at the annual general meeting.

Three candidates are vying for two places.

Voting has opened for two vacant directorship positions on DairyNZ’s board.

This year, three candidates – Jacqueline Rowarth, Tirau; Richard McIntyre, Levin; and  Kylie Leonard, Taupō – are vying for the two vacant positions.

Farmers have until noon on Thursday, October 17, to cast their votes.

Voter packs have been sent out since September 19. Dairy farmers can vote online or by post.

This year, DairyNZ is hosting a Meet the Candidates webinar, on Friday, September 20, at 7pm, providing an opportunity to ask questions of the potential directors.

DairyNZ’s board consists of five farmer-elected directors and three board-appointed directors. This year, Jim van der Poel is retiring, and Jacqueline Rowarth is retiring by rotation and is re-standing.

Outside of the candidate vote, there are four resolutions for farmers to ratify in their vote pack, including the appointment of independent director David Hunt and changes to the rules of DairyNZ to reflect new regulatory changes and capture recent feedback from farmers.

Further details on the resolutions and proposed changes are available in the Notice of Meeting booklet in farmer voting packs and online.
