Trish Rankin has been appointed as the new chair of Dairy Women’s Network (DWN), taking over from Karen Forlong.

The 2019 Dairy Woman of the Year said being given the role of chairp was “a privilege” she is looking forward to.

“It’s a great time to work with Karen over the next few months to learn more around the skills and knowledge of being a chair,” Rankin said.

“Governing an organisation that has a strong vision to enable transformation change in dairy businesses is so crucial in enabling the dairy industry to thrive.”

DWN has played a big role in Rankin’s life since she entered the dairy industry.

Over the years, Rankin has valued her membership with DWN in building her knowledge, skills and friendships.

She said she recognises the wide reach of the organisation and the opportunities available for members and industry partners to come together to empower people in the dairying and agriculture sector.

Forlong remains on the trust board in a newly appointed chair support role.

Having well-planned succession within the organisation embodies the Network’s value of leadership through action and is necessary to keep the organisation future-focused and developing alongside the industry, Forlong said.

“It goes without saying that it has been a humbling privilege to be the chair for the last two and a half years,” Forlong said.

“This new role will allow me to be there to support Trish and pass on knowledge from my time as chair, and to still have a voice around the board table to support the network.”
