About our Board members

Our Chair, Anthony Shelly, sees NHIA as the herd improvement industry’s only truly representative group, enabling it to speak on behalf of the sector with one voice.

Cathy Bourke sees NHIA as being about community, providing the ability to talk with like-minded people and discuss common issues, ultimately benefiting individual businesses and the wider industry.

Mike Rose believes if your business relies on herd improvement NHIA is the only truly representative body that works to promote and advance herd improvement at every level, from farm gate to an industry wide level.

Every industry needs to grow and regenerate. Geoff Wood believes NHIA plays a crucial role in creating pathways for new people to join the industry, providing them with access to high quality education and training.

Adam Daniel also sees NHIA as playing an important role in providing access to resources and information, particularly where artificial insemination training and professional development is concerned.

Phil Wren, our treasurer, believes growing NHIA membership will provide stronger industry representation that will benefit every herd improvement business in Australia.
