Niamh Bambrick
The Agricultural Science Association has announced that a Kilkenny woman is its new President.
Niamh Bambrick is a former County Chair of Kilkenny Macra and an active member of Macra na Feirme.
In addition to playing camogie for Kilkenny, she has managed to accumulate a Degree in Agricultural Science, a Masters degree in Supply Chain Management and is currently studying for a Masters degree in Environmental Sustainability.
This was all achieved whilst working full time in Tirlán, Chanelle Pharmaceuticals and most recently Mullanahone Co-op.
Macra is proud to see another strong female take over a leadership role in the Irish Agriculture Industry, where still there are too few women in positions of power.
“I am delighted to see Niamh take over as President of the ASA, I have no doubts that ASA and Macra will work even closer into the future under her stewardship,” said Macra President Elaine Houlihan.
Elaine went on to say “there is a correlation between the proportion of young people leading our industry and the health of the industry, we need more young leaders to put their head above the parapet and lead the way.”
Finally, Macra congratulates Susan Maher who was elected vice president at the associations AGM and commends outgoing president Professor Tommy Boland on a very successful presidency.
