True Vote has been engaged to conduct the ballot. Members can vote for their preferred candidates using online voting through True Vote, which closes at 5pm on Monday 7 September.
Successful candidates will be announced at Livestock SA’s Annual General Meeting on Monday, September 14.
Mr Curtis thanked board members Penny Schulz and Jamie Heinrich who have both decided not to re-nominate.
“Penny was a founding Livestock SA board member, while Jamie has just started a second term as a director of Sheep Producers Australia,” he said.
Continuing members include Treasurer Gillian Fennell, Marla; Allan Piggott, Moorlands; Samantha Neumann, Barossa; Mark Dennis, Koppio; and Glen Tilley, Tarlee.
