Australia and New Zealand Cooperative Leaders Forum April 2010
The Australia and New Zealand Dairy Cooperative Leaders forum aims to take a collaborative approach, build relationships between manufacturers, transfer information, and facilitate common alignment of activities for the greater good of the farmer.
Over 30 directors from Australian and New Zealand co-operative dairy companies, and those with significant farmer interest, gathered together at Werribee Victoria 19 & 20 April to discuss this year's theme "managing risk, volatility and change".
The forum is managed by a committee of cooperative directors. It is funded and organised by Dairy Australia, and sponsored by Rabobank
