LONG-serving DairyNZ farmer director Colin Glass will not be seeking re-election at the upcoming DairyNZ board of director elections in October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColin has made an outstanding contribution to DairyNZ and our industry in his six years as a farmer-elected director,\u201d DairyNZ chair Jim van der Poel said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColin has explained to the board that, given the continuing exciting future opportunities in our sector, he wants to focus more of his time on his leadership role at Dairy Holdings and growing his family\u2019s dairy operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of farmers and the DairyNZ board, I want to thank Colin for his service to DairyNZ and the dairy sector over the past six years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cColin has made an outstanding contribution during a period of significant change and heightened regulation in our sector. The DairyNZ board will miss his relentless positivity, razor-like focus and thoughtful questions that always got to the heart of the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe wish Colin and his family the very best for their future endeavours.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glass\u2019s retirement leaves a vacancy on the board at the upcoming DairyNZ director election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe board encourages all levy-paying dairy farmers who have a passion for our sector, an interest in making a difference, leadership capability, and an understanding of governance to consider putting their hat in the ring to be a farmer-elected director. You\u2019ll play a vital role in creating a better future for dairy farmers, by participating in your industry good organisation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nominations open for the elections in August, with the election running in September. It is overseen by Electionz.com. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
