Hort Innovation puts out call for two new directors
Hort Innovation, the grower-owned, not-for-profit research and development corporation for Australian horticulture, is seeking applications for two Non-Executive Director vacancies on its Board for a four-year term.
In line with the company’s constitution, two of the nine sitting Directors must retire at the end of their term, with both being eligible to reapply.
The Hort Innovation Board is a skills-based Board. After having reviewed the skills and experience of the existing Board against the Board Skills Matrix, the skills being sought this year are experience in finance, accounting and audit, and public policy and administration.
When the application period closes, applications will be provided to the Hort Innovation Director Nomination Committee (DNC).
The four-person committee (established under the Hort Innovation Constitution) is made up of a representative from the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry (DAFF); a levy payer representative chosen by DAFF; an independent eminent member selected by the Hort Innovation Board; and is chaired by the Chair of the Hort Innovation Board.
The DNC will meet to determine the shortlist of candidates from the application pool, for interviewing during September.
The DNC will then nominate candidates to stand for election at the 2026 AGM to be held in November.
Applicants have until 5.00 pm on Monday 6 July to apply. Interested applicants should refer to the Rimfire Resources website here to obtain the Director Applicant Information Pack. Applications must be submitted online to Rimfire Resources.
