Director’s Elections 2022

Director Elections will be held at the Fight Food Waste Limited (FFWL) Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held at a venue to be advised on Thursday 24 November 2022. Two Director positions will become vacant with the incumbents (both inaugural directors): John Webster and Toine Timmermans, retiring by rotation. Both Directors are renominating for further terms of three (3) years.

Having assessed the collective skills and experience of the Board, the required skill sets most impacted collectively by the retiring/renominating Directors are as follows:

  • General skills: strategy development, research & development, project management, legal, communications and media.
  • Domain specific skills: international food waste experience, economics/circular economy, education & training, packaging.

Nominations for the Director positions becoming vacant are now open and must be made in writing (2 pages maximum) to the Company Secretary, Allison Berry via email (allison@fightfoodwastecrc.com.au) by 5:00pm AEDT on 23 September 2022.

Nominations must consist of a short biography, motivation statement and a clear outline of experience and skills relevant to FFWL including the General and Domain Specific skills requirements listed above. Australian Institute of Company Director qualifications will be highly regarded. The nomination letter should be accompanied by a current resume of up to four pages. These are remunerated positions with necessary travel expenses also met by FFWL. Further details are provided in the Candidate Briefing Document: https://fightfoodwastecrc.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/FFWL-Director-Candidate-Briefing-Document.pdf

The FFWL Board will consider all nominees in the context of FFWL’s requirements and needs (including the requirement for the majority of the Board to be independent of the Participants) and will determine a final list of nominees by 25 October 2022 for voting to occur at the FFWL AGM on 24 November 2022 by the members of the company.

Please contact the Company Secretary to discuss any queries. The Company Secretary will keep candidates informed of progress and may arrange meetings if required between the Board and candidates to further discuss their nominations.
