New members bolster RBS board

RURAL Business Support (RBS) added three new members to its board of directors to further its goal of supporting rural communities across South Australia and the Northern Territory. 

The new board members, Daniel Casement, Kevin Reid and Christine Hahn, have backgrounds across agribusiness, finance and community leadership. 

Mr Casement currently serves as chief executive of the Australian Southern Bluefin Tuna Industry Association and spent nearly 20 years with the Department of Primary Industries and Regions SA. 

Mr Reid is the chair and president of Meals on Wheels SA and brings with him extensive financial knowledge through his experience as a chartered accountant.

For Ms Hahn, her time as chief executive of Barossa Valley Estate and her family’s multi-generational vineyard and livestock enterprise has built her knowledge of agribusiness and governance. 

“With the addition of Daniel, Kevin, and Christine, we are building a board with exceptional breadth and depth,” RBS board chair Peter Treloar said. 

“Their combined expertise in agribusiness, health and community services, as well as governance brings fresh perspectives and invaluable insights that align perfectly with our Strategy 2030 goals.

“This diversity strengthens our ability to respond to the complex challenges facing rural communities and ensures that RBS remains a trusted partner for farmers and small and family-owned business owners and the communities they serve across South Australia and the Northern Territory.”
