Three candidates are running for two vacant seats on the board of meat co-operative Alliance.

Voting is underway and the result will be announced at Alliance shareholders annual meeting in Gore on December 18.

The three candidates are standing for election:

  • Gray Baldwin from Putaruru in South Waikato
  • Cameron Black from Riverton in Southland
  • Matt Iremonger from Banks Peninsula in Canterbury.

Former chair Murray Taggart retired from the board in April and current farmer-director Jason Miller is not standing for re-election.

"Voting is one of the most important ways for Alliance shareholders to shape the direction of our co-operative,” says Mark Wynne, chair of Alliance.

“Alliance Group has always been about farmers working together for our shared success, striving to be a high-performing company that delivers value to its shareholders.

“I encourage every farmer-shareholder to take the opportunity to vote for who they believe will best represent the interests and future of our business.”
