Nominations have opened to fill two vacancies on the Alliance Group board.
Jason Miller is retiring by rotation and will not be standing for re-election. There is one other vacancy following the retirement of Murray Taggart.
Chair Mark Wynne thanked Miller for his service to the board.
“Jason was elected as a supplier representative in 2015. He was also a director on the Alliance board from 2007-2013.
“He has made a valuable contribution to the board, consistently demonstrating a deep understanding of Alliance’s values and the needs of our farmers. His experience and strategic insight have been valuable during both stable and challenging times for the company.”
Alliance is seeking directors who can demonstrate strong alignment to Alliance’s long-term vision, Wynne said.
“We are looking for individuals with a deep connection to the meat industry or agribusiness sector, excellent judgment, and strategic reasoning.
“The ideal candidates will have governance experience, or show potential in this area, along with proven problem-solving skills, commercial acumen, and an ability to think strategically for the future.
“Equally important are strong communication skills, a commitment to environmental sustainability, and the ability to connect with our customers, stakeholders, and communities, including regulatory bodies and iwi.”
Nominations must be received by the returning officer by Monday, October 7 at 3pm. The election result will be announced at Alliance Group’s annual meeting of shareholders in Gore on December 18.
