November 17, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emerald cotton grower Aaron Kiely has been elected president of the Queensland Farmers\u2019 Federation (QFF), succeeding Allan Dingle who is stepping down following the completion of his four-year term.<\/p>\n

Mr Kiely was elected Non-Executive Director and Vice President of QFF in 2021, and is also the past President of the Central Highlands Cotton Growers and Irrigators Association.<\/p>\n

Dairy farmer Kay Tommerup will step into the Vice President position, with Georgina Krieg, a cotton grower, also joining the QFF Board.<\/p>\n

Mr Kiely said he was pleased to be continuing his leadership contribution to QFF as he steps into the President role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank QFF\u2019s members for trusting me to take on this important position not only for QFF but for the Queensland agriculture sector,\u201d Mr Kiely said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are many opportunities and challenges facing the agriculture sector and I am looking forward to continuing to work with QFF members and industry to look at ways we (can) continue working together to build a strong future for Queensland agriculture.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI would also like to thank outgoing president Allan Dingle for his service to the sector and his leadership of QFF during the past four years.\u201d<\/p>\n

QFF CEO Jo Sheppard also extended her gratitude to Allan for his contribution to QFF.<\/p>\n

\u201cQFF continues to maintain its position as a strong advocate for the future of the Queensland agriculture sector and I would like to thank Allan for his service to the organisation and farmers across the state,\u201d Ms Sheppard said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am proud of what has been achieved however there is still so much work that needs to be done.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
