Agcarm appointed Dr Pauline Calvert as new president
Aug. 21, 2017
NewZealand
Agcarm, the industry association in New Zealand which represents crop protection, animal health and rural supplier businesses, has appointed Dr Pauline Calvert as its president. Pauline Calvert heads the production animal business for MSD Animal Heath in New Zealand and was elected president at Agcarm’s annual meeting on July 27.
Under her presidency, Agcarm will continue to focus on promoting the responsible use of products, sustainable agriculture, environmental preservation, and sensible sciencebased regulation of crop protection and animal health products.
“Agcarm brings together a wide group of industries. Collectively we share the same passion and interest in the environment, the economy, product stewardship, and maximising the opportunities of our primary sector through innovation,” says Calvert.
Calvert spent nearly two decades as a field veterinarian in mixed animal practice, before venturing a regulatory environment - as veterinary adviser for the Ministry for Primary Industries.
Calvert has been with MSD Animal Health for three years. She is also an active member of the Pharmacology Chapter of the Australian New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists, and is an examiner for the Chapter.
Dr Calvert takes over from Mark Christie, who was Agcarm’s longest standing president. She says she has “big shoes to fill” as he achieved a lot in his five years as president.
