About us
The Australian Dairy Conference was initiated by a group of leading dairy farmers, scientists and industry representatives from around Australia. The current Board of ADC consists of nine farmers elected by the delegate members for 2 year terms at the AGM during each conference, a Scientific Director, an industry representative and a Director nominated by Dairy Australia. The Directors bear ultimate responsibility for the conduct of ADC and must formally sign off on final Conference budgets and the program. The ADC is a “not for profit” Company where those involved give freely of their time and skills.
The current Board as of February 2009:
Pam Swain, Simon Bennett, Terry Hehir (Vice President), Paul Bethune, Matt Reid (President), Ken Kimber, Fionnuala Malone-McGrath, Jock MacMillan,David Mulcahy and Michael Perich and Steve Coates (not pictured). James McKinnon, 2010 Conference Chairman, (not pictured) is also a member of the ADC Board for a term of one year.
