The National Farmers' Federation (NFF) today welcomes two familiar faces to its Board.
Former Director Mark Horan was elected and current Director Georgie Somerset was re-elected at the NFF's Annual General Meeting, held online today.
Mark Horan and Georgie Somerset join the eight-member NFF Board, following a vote from representatives from the NFF's member organisations.
Mark Horan is a cattle producer in New South Wales' Southern Tablelands and previously served on the NFF Board from 2014-2017.
Georgie Somerset, a cattle producer from Queensland's South Burnett region, stood for immediate re-election as Director, after reaching the three-year term limit.
NFF President David Jochinke welcomed the pair.
"Georgie and Mark both bring extensive experience to the NFF Board, through their previous roles at the organisation, as well as their knowledge of the ag industry," Mr Jochinke said.
"I look forward to working with them both."
Mr Horan replaces Tony York, who reached his maximum term with NFF after six years of dedicated service.
Mr Jochinke thanked Mr York for pouring his heart and soul into the role.
"We're grateful for Tony's insightful, passionate contributions to the NFF since his election in 2018," Mr Jochinke said.
"Tony is a fantastic advocate for our industry and I'm sure he will continue to be a force in the ag world."
"We wish him all the very best for his future endeavours."
