North Otago dairy farmer Jackie Dalziel has been appointed an associate director on FMG’s board.
FMG board chair Sarah von Dadelszen said the appointment supports the next wave of leadership within the agri-business sector.
“We really welcome the opportunity for an FMG member to gain insight on how the board operates and enhance the future capability of governance within the primary sector.”
The appointment follows the introduction of the associate director position in 2022.
“I know Jackie’s contribution as a farmer, an FMG member and rural professional will provide another lens for the board to look through as we work to provide a better deal for rural New Zealand through FMG’s advice and insurance.”
Dalziel, who operates a dairy grazing and cropping business near Oamaru, is currently a director for Waitaki Irrigators Collective, Lower Waitaki Irrigation Company and Dalziel Ag Limited.
She has worked for Fonterra, Ravensdown and as a sharemilker.
The associate director role is an unpaid position and does not include board voting rights. Outgoing associate director Dr Jolene Germann held the position for the last 18 months.
