Dear Members & Friends,
The board of Food & Fibre Gippsland (F&FG) has accepted the resignation of Ben Gebert, CEO, who has decided to pursue a new opportunity. Ben’s last working day will be tomorrow, Tuesday 25 March, before he takes a well-earned break.

We’re going to miss Ben, with his knowledge, connections, skills, and personality. We wish him every success in the future.
The Board has considered potential interim CEOs, and I anticipate letting you know who we have appointed in the next few days.
We will advertise the role very soon, with a view to having an appointment in place within the next three months.
We’d like to extend our thanks to Ben for his extensive achievements during his tenure with Food & Fibre Gippsland, and sincerely wish him well for his future endeavours.
