New Fonterra Westpac Dairy Excellence Awards
The fifth Fonterra Westpac Dairy Excellence Awards feature changes to the Farm Business Section, taking it from a regional to a national focus. Farm business owners across the country will this year be interviewed at a national level for six international travel scholarships in an effort to continue building on the quality of entries and benchmark the best of the best. Previous competitions were based on regional winners going forward to a national final, but the new format is targeted at identifying the best six farm businesses nationally, regardless of the region they come from.
This year's categories are:
- NZ Lifetime Achievement Award;
- Farm Business Travel Scholarships (6);
- Farm Manager Overall Winner; and
- Farm Manager Performance Awards:
- Goal Setting & Communication
- Financial Planning & Management
- Human Wealth
- Farm Systems & Productivity
- Quality Management & Environmental Awareness.
The six Farm Business Travel Scholarship winners will take part in an international study tour of South America - a key region of dairy industry growth and significant Fonterra activity. Regional winners of the Farm Manager Award will embark on a national study tour around selected Fonterra sites, offering some insights into business planning, personal development and mentoring and motivational opportunities.
For information about the Awards and how to enter, Fonterra suppliers should contact their local Field Representative. |
