Elected by members. Accountable to members.
DFA is governed by a seven-member board, elected by and among the association’s farm members at the Annual General Meeting.
How the board works
Election & terms
Board members are elected for two-year terms at the Annual General Meeting in January. Three members are up for election one year, four the next, ensuring continuity of governance.
Composition
The board consists of seven members, elected by and among the association’s farm members. It is led by a Chairman and a Vice Chairman, supported by the Secretary General.
Responsibilities
The board sets strategic direction, approves the annual programme and budget, and ensures the association serves its members’ interests. Day-to-day operations are managed by the secretariat.
Member representation
Only ordinary members — farm owners and agricultural businesses — are eligible to stand for or vote in board elections. Corporate partners do not hold voting rights.
