December 17, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former South Burnett Regional Council economic development officer Kristy Board has been appointed general manager of the\u00a0Burnett Inland Economic Development Organisation (BIEDO).<\/p>\n

She will officially start in the role on January 17.<\/p>\n

BIEDO Chair John Zahl made the announcement on Friday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ms Board will fill the gap left when CEO Kristy Frahm resigned in April to take up a position with the Australian Rural Leadership Foundation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI left a multinational company in Brisbane\u00a0 eight years ago to move to the Burnett Inland. I just love it out here,” Ms Board said.<\/p>\n

She said she had worked in several important projects since then, linked to progressing the region\u2019s economic future.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community might know me from my previous roles in economic development or the Kingaroy Transformation Project for the South Burnett Regional Council,” she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOr perhaps in my dedication to Kingaroy BaconFest, the Kingaroy Big Peanut, Red Earth Community Leadership Program or the Farm 2 Fork Collective.<\/p>\n

\u201cI intend to lead the growth and progression of BIEDO for the sake of our rural communities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe issues I\u2019ll be immediately working on include better value-adding for local produce, raising small businesses to their success and activating sustainable, home-grown leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cI listen as much as I advocate, so I\u2019ll be working forward on the priorities of BIEDO, and the priorities of economic development for our region.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe history, stories and experiences of regional and rural Burnett has always informed and inspired my work out here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m really looking forward to further progressing and supporting the North and South Burnett regions with new capability.”<\/p>\n

Mr Zahl said it was great to start 2022 with the appointment of a new General Manager and the return of local rural producer Claire Kapernick to the BIEDO Board.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Kristy\u2019s economic and community work across the Burnett, many of our stakeholders will have already worked with our new general manager,” he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to 2022. BIEDO is in good hands.”<\/p>\n
