Investing In The Future Of Farming: Alliance Group Introduces Associate Director Programme

Alliance Group shareholders are being offered the opportunity to accelerate their boardroom experience with the launch of a new Associate Director programme.

Murray Taggart, Alliance Group chairman, says the Associate Director Programme will introduce shareholders interested in pursuing a governance career to the dynamics of the boardroom and broaden their understanding of Alliance Group’s business.

“Our strong international presence and continued success is the result of a farmer-owned co-operative that never loses sight of our heritage while seeking possibilities to grow effectively.

“We have a lot of depth and experience on our Board and we work across multiple challenging and exciting markets and environments. We want to share our experience and grow the pool of talent in the industry.

“This is a great opportunity for shareholders who have governance aspirations to gain real-world experience including exposure to Alliance directors and management for networking, coaching and mentoring.”

The successful applicant will be appointed for a 12-month term. They will attend board and committee meetings and have access to induction and mentoring programmes.

Further information about the programme, including eligibility criteria and how to apply, is available on the Alliance website www.alliance.co.nz/farmers/associate-director-programme/
