Nominations for Elected Directors are now open

As required by Australian Pork Limited’s (APL) constitution, two elected directors of Australian Pork Limited will retire at the AGM being held on 19 November 2020 and the two Elected Director positions will become vacant at that time.

Delegates will vote to elect candidates to the vacant positions at the AGM.

Nominations are being called for the APL elected director vacancies.

A producer member of APL or a current APL Director can nominate a person(s) to stand for election as an Elected Director.

The Funding Agreement between APL and the Commonwealth Government and the APL Constitution both require a ‘skills-based Board’.

To ensure a skills-based Board is maintained, nominated candidates who are not existing Directors of the Board are required to provide a curriculum vitae together with a statement specifically addressing their potential contribution to the following collective Board core skill and experience competencies:

a. Governance
b. Financial management
c. Government relations/public policy/administration
d. Production
e. Processing
f. Food industry
g. Promotion and marketing
h. Market development and international marketing
i. R&D/R&D administration
j. R&D commercialisation and technology transfer
k. Conservation and natural resource management
l. Business and management acumen.

The APL People & Culture Committee will review all nominations received to determine the impact of each candidate’s skills on the maintenance of a skills-based Board.

Nominations for these positions close at 12.00pm AEDT on Tuesday 6 October 2020.

To be eligible for election, nominated candidates must provide a consent to the nomination with their CV and statement before 12.00pm AEDT on Thursday 8 October 2020.
