A MESSAGE FROM BRENDAN
“I’m thrilled and honoured to be asked to lead the VFF. I’m genuinely excited about the opportunity to work with the Board, staff and members to make a difference for Victoria’s agricultural industries, farmers and regional communities.”
“You, our farmers are at the core of everything we do, and I look forward to transforming your needs into outcomes by utilising the fast-moving media, technology and political cycles that make up today’s modern advocacy environment.”
“I look forward to continue to get out and meet as many of you as possible in the coming weeks and months.”
