Riverland Wine’s executive officer (EO) Lyndall Rowe and grower engagement officer (GEO) Charles Matheson have both resigned, the Riverland Wine Management Committee announced yesterday. Their resignations were effective as of 26th September, and follow Darren Oemcke’s resignation last week from his position as independent chair at Riverland Wine.
“Lyndall and Charles have worked hard to support Riverland growers and winemakers through arguably some of the industry’s most challenging times,” said the Riverland Wine Management Committee in a statement.
“The EO and GEO roles can be difficult enough at the best of times, let alone when grapegrowers and winemakers are enduring some of the lowest prices and toughest operating conditions ever experienced.
“Despite the challenges, Lyndall and Charles have maintained a positive and forward-thinking outlook when advocating on growers’ behalf to Government and industry and non-government organisations.”
The management committee thanked both Rowe and Matheson for their service to the region and wish them well for their future endeavours.
Acting Riverland Wine chair Jim Markeas will be the organisation’s point of contact until further notice.
