MEAT & Livestock Australia is inviting applications for three non-executive director positions on its Board, to be approved (or rejected) by levy payers at this year’s annual general meeting in Adelaide in November.
As a skills-based Board and in line with specific requirements, candidates with extensive skills and experience in any of the following areas are encouraged to apply:
- Extensive knowledge of modern livestock supply chain systems, product integrity and value adding.
- Knowledge and connection across the agri-food industry including knowledge of RDC obligations and functions.
- Practical experience and understanding of sustainability frameworks and improvement opportunities.
The MLA board provides guidance and oversight of the management and performance of MLA in delivering its strategy. The Board operates under corporate governance and risk management frameworks to ensure producer levies, government matching dollars and partner funds are invested effectively to ensure the continuing prosperity of the Australian red meat and livestock industry.
This year, as part of the Board selection process, three non-executive directors are to be elected, with applications closing on June 8.
MLA’s Board is skills-based and currently comprises nine directors including eight non-executive directors and the Managing Director. Directors are nominated through the Selection Committee and appointed by members at MLA AGMs for a three-year term.
Three current directors will complete their three-year terms in November. They include chairman John Lloyd, lotfeeder Tess Herbert and sustainability specialist Jack Holden. Existing directors may choose to re-nominate for another three-year term, but the board selection committee has the right to seek different skill-sets in board selections each year, to match industry direction and challenges.
To express interest, intending applicants should email their application and CV to consultant@pacificsearch.com.
MLA welcomes and encourages all suitably qualified candidates to apply.
