Nominations are being called for three upcoming APL Elected Director positions.

As required by Australian Pork Limited’s (APL) constitution, two Elected Directors of APL will retire by rotation at the AGM being held on 17 November 2022. On this occasion, Edwina Beveridge and Mark McLean will retire. In addition, during the course of the year a casual Elected Director vacancy arose and the board appointed Richard Horsham to fill that vacancy until the forthcoming AGM. As Mr Horsham is filling a casual vacancy, he is also required to retire at the 2022 AGM.

While the three retiring Directors are all eligible to seek re-election, Ms Beveridge has advised the Board that she is not standing for re-election to the Board at the 2022 AGM.

Prior to 5.00pm AEDST on Thursday 13 October 2022, candidates for election are required to:

  • Be nominated by either a producer member of APL or a current APL Director
  • Provide a consent to the nomination
  • Provide their curriculum vitae and a written statement addressing their potential contributions to the Board (see below)

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

 

APL’s skills-based Board

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

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.

To assist the Committee to perform this process, nominated candidates are required to provide a curriculum vitae and a written statement specifically addressing their potential contribution to any or all the following collective Board core skill and experience competencies:

  • Governance
  • Financial management
  • Government relations/public policy/administration
  • Production
  • Processing
  • Food industry
  • Promotion and marketing
  • Market development and international marketing
  • R&D/R&D administration
  • R&D commercialisation and technology transfer
  • Conservation and natural resource management
  • Business and management acumen
