Keen to shape the industry's future? | Issue 196

Feb 9, 2024

There are four NZDFA appointed positions up for nomination as they become available by rotation (appointment by nomination and election, if necessary), and one producer representative to the Deer Industry New Zealand (DINZ) board.

NZDFA

The following NZDFA members are up for re-election or retirement from the Selection and Appointments Panel (SAP) and Executive Committee:

  • Graham Peck (SAP, elected 2022) - seeking re-election
  • William Oliver (SAP, elected 2022) - seeking re-election
  • Karen Middelberg (EC, elected unopposed 2022)
  • Jamie Ward (EC, appointed 2022)

The NZDFA needs leaders to maintain an effective voice for farmers at the industry level, pan-agricultural sector level and with regional and central government so we encourage you to think about any of these positions. 

This is a chance to shape the association's future and have a say in the industry as all positions are responsible for appointing our four producer representatives to the Deer Industry New Zealand (DINZ) board. 

If you would like to indicate your interest, or talk to someone in confidence about these positions, please get in touch with NZDFA Returning Officer Lindsay Fung on lindsay.fung@deernz.org or 027 668 0141.
