Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has announced that Mr John Lloyd has been elected as the Chair of MLA, effective following the upcoming MLA Annual General Meeting on November 20.
Mr Lloyd was elected to MLA's Board as a Director in 2019 and takes over the Chair role from Mr Alan Beckett, who has been MLA's Chair since 2019 and a Director since 2014.
Mr Beckett congratulated Mr Lloyd on his election as Chair, which came at a critical time for the organisation as it approaches a new five-year Strategic Plan.

"I congratulate John and wish him the best as he starts a new leadership chapter for MLA, supported by an exceptionally talented Board, Management team, staff, and industry," Mr Beckett said.
