Rob Anderson appointed new MLA chair
18 November 2011
New South Wales cattle producer Rob Anderson was today appointed as the new chair of Meat & Livestock Australia’s skills based Board.
Mr Anderson was appointed by fellow Board members in a special meeting of the MLA Board held in Longreach this morning following the retirement of long-serving Chairman Don Heatley at MLA’s annual general meeting yesterday.
He said he was honoured to be appointed Chairman of MLA.
“I look forward to working with the Managing Director, Scott Hansen, and my fellow Board members to ensure MLA continues to create opportunities for the Australian cattle, sheep and goat industries from the investment of their levies in R&D and marketing,” he said.
Mr Anderson paid tribute to outgoing chairman Don Heatley on his successful six year term as MLA chairman.
“Don Heatley’s unwavering commitment to the Australian red meat and livestock industry has provided strong leadership through some of the most challenging times for our industry,” he said.
