A recruitment campaign to appoint six new members to the CAFRE College Advisory Group (CAG) has been launched by The Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA).
The College Advisory Group (CAG), currently chaired by Mr Maynard Mawhinney, provides advice on strategic and operational issues to the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise (CAFRE) management team and contains expertise from across all sectors of the Agri-Food industry.

"The CAG has been providing advice for over 10 years on a wide range of issues which have aided the CAFRE Management Team in making strategic decisions on programme delivery and capital investment projects at each campus.
"I would like to thank the outgoing members for their valuable contribution to the Group and I look forward to welcoming the new members in 2023 who will help the College respond to the current and future needs of the industry."
