Directors sought for Oxford Farming Conference
THE Oxford Farming Conference is inviting applications for three new directors to join the nine-strong team from January 2011 for a three-year term.
The council is voluntary and comprises a group of people who are committed and active within the agricultural industry.
The director’s role is to work with the rest of the team to deliver the conference programme, speakers and the charitable works undertaken by The Oxford Farming Conference. The team is supported by a professional secretariat, marketing consultancy and a treasurer.
“We need directors who have passion and a breadth of experience in the agri-food or land management sectors; we also look for individuals who have an extensive network of contacts both in the business and agricultural community in the UK and further afield,” said Christine Tacon, OFC chairman for 2011, but who is retiring as a director this year.
Anyone interested in applying can download an application form from the OFC website www.ofc.org.uk. Applications close on June 4, 2010.
