“I am grateful for the confidence bestowed upon me by WAFarmers members during my first term and look forward to continuing to fight for the best outcomes for Western Australian agriculture for a further two years,” Mr Park said.

“I would like to extend my thanks on behalf of the organisation to Max Watts for his four years served as Vice President.

“Newly-elected Vice President Marg Agnew has a long association with this organisation and agriculture in this State. Her passion for the industry and personal drive will serve her well as she takes up this role.”
