Nominations are being called for one upcoming APL Elected Director position.

As required by the Australian Pork Limited (APL) Constitution, one Elected Director of APL will retire by rotation at the Annual General Meeting being held on 17 October 2024. On this occasion, Mr Kenton Shaw will retire. 

With Mr Shaw retiring, there is one Elected Director vacancy arising. Retiring Directors are eligible to seek nomination and stand for re-election.
