Our Board

GippsDairy is governed by a board with 10 director positions. An independent Selection Panel recommends appointments to the Board. Recommendations are based on skills, experience, and an ability to commit to the role. The Board is made up of six dairy farmers; and four people with other skills needed by the Board.

Board members are appointed for a two-year term, with an option of renominating for two more terms to make a maximum of six years appointment.

An industry-led independent selection panel is appointed each year to interview and recommend candidates for board vacancies. Recommendations are then considered by GippsDairy. The selection panel is chaired by the President of the United Dairyfarmers of Victoria, or a nominee agreeable to GippsDairy.

The board meets 8 times per year: six general meetings; one strategic planning meeting and one annual general meeting. All Directors are encouraged to undertake formal corporate governance training.
