Meat & Wool New Zealand Director nominations close on 12 January 2009

Nominations for two director positions on the Board of Meat & Wool New Zealand close on Monday 12 January 2009.

The positions are for the Northern North Island and the Northern South Island electorates.

Meat & Wool New Zealand’s Board Secretary Androula Dometakis says nominations must be submitted on the official form that can be obtained from the Returning Officer Warwick Lampp, Election Hotline 0508 666 336, and must be received by him by 5pm on Monday 12 January 2009.

“Voters in the two electorates must be on the electoral roll and those not registered need to fill out a voter registration form by Monday 2 February 2009. This can be obtained from the Election Hotline 0508 666 336.

To be eligible to vote, a livestock farmer must have owned at least 250 sheep or goats or a combined total of these, or 50 beef cattle, or 100 dairy cattle, on 30 June 2008.”

Election Day is 4 March 2009.

Call for remits for the 2009 Annual General Meeting

Meat & Wool New Zealand is also calling for remits for this year’s Annual General Meeting, to be held on 11 March 2009 in Gore. Livestock farmers who want to propose remits are invited to submit their comments by Monday 12 January 2009 to Meat & Wool New Zealand, PO Box 121, Wellington 6140.

Remits require 10 (ten) levy payer signatures and those farmers must be registered on the Meat & Wool New Zealand electoral roll. Remits will be included with voting documents and sent to farmers in early February, Mrs Dometakis says.
