A new CEO will take over reins at the QRAA on August 10.
Cameron MacMillan will replace Colin Holden who has been CEO at the Queensland Rural Adjustment Authority for more than 15 years.
QRAA Chairman Wayne Carlson announced on Friday that Mr Holden would be retiring from the organisation on August 14.
“Mr Holden has navigated QRAA through a range of complex policy negotiations for rural industries and the Queensland Government, including the response to multiple natural disasters,” Mr Carlson said.
Mr MacMillan is currently Executive Director of International Business and Agribusiness at BDO Queensland.
“He has extensive experience and knowledge in international agribusiness including export and investment strategies and government engagement,” Mr Carlson said.
Mr MacMillan is originally from Longreach. His early career was in stock and station agencies in Western Queensland.
He also spent 15 years as a Trade Commissioner and State Manager with Austrade.
“QRAA would like to take this opportunity to welcome Cameron MacMillan to his new role and thank Colin Holden for his years of trusted and faithful service,” Mr Carlson said.
