MLA seeks nominations for Selection Committee election
Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) is calling for nominations from eligible producer members to fill three positions on the MLA Selection Committee at the 2026 Annual General Meeting, to be held on November 24 in Townsville, Queensland.
The Selection Committee plays an important role in MLA's governance framework, with responsibility for identifying and recommending suitably qualified candidates for election to the MLA Board.
Eligible individual producer members may nominate themselves for election to the Selection Committee. Body corporate producer members may nominate a representative to stand for election.
Candidates may nominate for one producer class - cattle producers, sheep producers and lotfeeders.
MLA's Selection Committee comprises producer representatives elected by MLA members, together with industry-appointed members and current MLA Board representatives. The committee supports MLA's skills-based governance model by overseeing the selection process for prospective MLA directors.
