National Farmers Federation CEO Tony Mahar has resigned after more than a decade of service to the organisation.
Mr Mahar, who joined the NFF as General Manager of Trade and Economics in 2013 and became CEO in 2016, will take up the position of Australian Energy Infrastructure Commissioner – an independent role reporting to the Minister for Climate and Energy.
“During his tenure, Tony has strengthened NFF’s position as the leading national advocacy body for agriculture through his integrity, stakeholder management skills, and dedication to the industry,” NFF president David Jochinke said.
“His passion, professionalism and approachability earned him respect across industry, government, and corporate partners, and we have greatly appreciated his leadership.”
The NFF board will begin the process of recruiting a new CEO immediately.
Mr Mahar will formally leave his NFF role in December.
