President Allan Piggott said the organisation is coming to the end of a six-month transition period after implementing new governance structures and processes, following consultation with the industry.
“SPA was launched in November 2017, replacing Sheepmeat Council of Australia, following adoption of a new governance framework and transition to a company limited by guarantee,” Mr Piggott said.
“Since former CEO Dr Kat Giles resigned in November, we welcomed Sue Dillon as General Manager – Policy and Projects on temporary assignment and appointed Executive Chair Chris Mirams to manage the organisation through its transition to a company limited by guarantee. The assistance of both during this transition period has been invaluable.
“We are now looking to appoint a CEO and have that person in place for 2018-19 to carry on the important policy and advocacy work of SPA.
“The CEO will report to the board and have full responsibility for management of the day-to-day operations of SPA’s business and staff through to the broader strategy of the industry through the Sheep Industry Strategic Plan.
“The successful candidate will have a strong capacity for strategic vision and leadership, expertise in stakeholder engagement, governance, finance and risk management as well as previous industry experience.”
