NATIONAL Farmers’ Federation CEO Troy Williams has tendered his resignation for personal reasons.

NFF president, David Jochinke, said the board has accepted his decision, which was made for personal reasons.

“We thank Mr Williams for his contribution and wish him the very best for the future,” Mr Jochinke said.

The Board will commence recruitment for the new CEO, mindful of the NFF AGM in October.

“In the meantime, we will appoint an interim CEO to ensure leadership and operational continuity,” Mr Jochinke said.

“While leadership transitions are significant, I am proud of our experienced and committed team. It’s business as usual in our work for members and the agricultural sector.”

Mr Jochinke said the NFF team remains committed to policy priorities as well as delivering a suite of initiatives from leadership programs and events, including the flagship AgXchange event.

“AgXchange is shaping up to become the industry’s pre-eminent forum for ideas, collaboration and innovation,” Mr Jochinke said.
