APAL Board of Directors update 2024

At APAL’s 2024 Annual General Meeting held on Monday in Melbourne, the organisation welcomed one new member to the Board of Directors.

Matthew Lenne was selected as the APAL Pear Director. Matthew’s appointment strengthens APAL’s leadership team, affirming the organisation’s focus on advancement and sustainability.

Additionally, Joe Ceravolo was re-elected as the Board Member for South Australia, and Mark Scott was re-elected as the Board Member for Western Australia.

Matthew joins the other recently appointed Board Member Lisa May, who began her term as the Independent Chair in June 2024. Their diverse backgrounds and expertise will undoubtedly enhance APAL’s strategic direction.

In expressing gratitude, APAL acknowledges the valuable contributions of outgoing APAL Board Directors Chris Fairless and Reg Weine. Their commitment and hard work have left a lasting impact on APAL and the wider Australian horticulture industry, and their contributions are deeply valued.
