The National President of CSNA Ms Sara Orme has nominated its Chief Executive Officer Vincent Jennings to contest the seat.
The outgoing incumbent, Ms Tara Buckley has announced her intention not to contest the seat in accordance with an agreement that RGDATA and CSNA made in 2022 when the Board was first constituted. Both Tara and RGDATA have agreed to endorse the candidacy of Vincent Jennings.
Those of you that are members of Re-Turn that were recorded on the register of members at the end of August 2025 are eligible to vote.
Each eligible member in the small retailer category will receive an online ballot paper on which they will cast a single vote for the candidate of their choice. The process is electronic and run by an external company.
It is understood that there are a number of candidates seeking the (unpaid) position. CSNA and RGDATA members will be encouraged to vote for Vincent Jennings. The term is four years.
Elections or agreed nominations for the other three seats alongside the small retailer seat (branded non-alcohol, branded alcohol and small producers) are also scheduled to take place between 08 Dec to 11 Dec.
We will remind you about the process over the next few weeks and urge you to vote for Vincent.
