Mr Griffin is entering his second year in the group’s top position.
“I am pleased to retain my position as UDV president and look forward to continuing to build upon the success the group has achieved over the past 12 months,” Mr Griffin said.
“I will continue to provide a strong voice on behalf of all UDV members, making sure the value of our industry to the Victorian and Australian economy is well known and that the interests of dairy farmers are not overlooked when governments are formulating policy.
“Over the next year I am looking forward to concentrating on responding to our members’ needs, retaining and growing our membership, as well as lobbying on a number of industry issues including water, animal welfare and smart meters.”
