Kiwifruit Vine Health is offering anyone within the kiwifruit industry with leadership aspirations the chance to become an associate director on its board.

The organisation's CEO Barry O'Neil says this is an exciting development opportunity for a future leader to join the Kiwifruit Vine Health Incorporated and the KVH Foundation Incorporated Boards of Directors.

'The opportunity will expose the successful applicant to experience in governance, leadership and strategy while bringing his or her own industry knowledge and experience to the KVH board table.

'The associate director will also have the opportunity to be mentored by an industry leader and a contribution from KVH towards their governance training.”

This is a non-voting role, however, the board seeks full participation in meetings and Barry says welcomes constructive contributions from the associate director in the workings of the board.”
