Australian Dairy Farmers (ADF) held its Annual General Meeting on Tuesday, which included the announcement of election results for one vacant Board Director position.
The position was contested by two candidates, Western Australian dairy farmer Ian Noakes and Gippsland dairy farmer Paul Mumford. Mr Noakes was ultimately elected to the position.
In announcing the election results, ADF Chief Executive Officer Stephen Sheridan thanked both candidates for nominating and expressing their interest in applying for the Board position.
“I would like to congratulate Ian Noakes on his successful election and appointment to the Board, while also thanking Paul Mumford for nominating to contest the position,” Mr Sheridan said.
“Both Ian and Paul are well respected leaders, and both hold or have formerly held the position of president with their respective State Dairy Farming Organisations in WA and Victoria, and both sit on ADF’s National Council.
“It is positive for ADF to have Director positions contested by such high calibre leaders from their respective states, and we look forward to both Ian and Paul’s continued involvement in ADF at the Board and National Council level.
The ADF Board now comprises:
- Ben Bennett, Victoria (Chair, Business Director)
- Matthew Trace, Queensland (Business Director)
- Heath Cook, New South Wales (Business Director)
