KVH have an exciting development opportunity for a future leader within the Kiwifruit Industry.

We are seeking an upcoming leader to join the Kiwifruit Vine Health Incorporated & The KVH Foundation Incorporated Board of Directors as an Associate Director.

This opportunity arose at the Young Grower of the Year national competition in August where contestants debated the benefits of this approach as part of the competition programme. It was strongly supported by all competitors who encouraged organisations like KVH to develop such an opportunity for future horticultural leaders.

This opportunity will expose the successful applicant to gain experience in governance, leadership and strategy while bringing his/her own industry knowledge and experience to the KVH Board table.

The Associate Director will also have the opportunity to be mentored by an Industry Leader and receive a contribution from KVH towards their governance training.

This is a non-voting role however the Board seeks full participation in meetings and will welcome constructive contributions from the Associate Director in the workings of the Board.
