APPMA director Stuart Shaw has resigned from his position on the APPMA Board after six years of service.

Since his election as a director on the APPMA Board in 2014, Shaw has played a major role as both a board member and key contributor on several working groups, including the AUSPACK and marketing committees.

APPMA chairman Mark Dingley said, “On behalf of the APPMA Board, management team and APPMA members, I would like to sincerely thank Stuart for his six years of service on the board.

“Stuart’s passion for technology and innovation, and diverse experience in variety of industries including meat processing, food and beverage in both Australia and Europe have provided valuable insights and knowledge in relation to the continued growth and development of the association. Stuart’s involvement and contribution will be sorely missed.”

As per the constitution, the vacant director’s position will remain so until the 2020 Annual General Meeting.

The APPMA will release more details in the coming weeks on 2020 director nominations and voting process.
