In one of her final roles as vice president before taking up her new position, she was given the honour of presenting the Medal of Honour to Deniliquin’s Louise Burge for her “long standing commitment to NSW Farmers” at last week’s NSW Farmers conference.
Mrs Reardon is actively involved, with her husband Dan, in their mixed grain and livestock farming business, and brings extensive commercial sector experience to the role.
She has more than 20 years in leadership roles for agribusiness companies, specialising in supply chain management and international and domestic commodity marketing in grains and fertilisers.
Mrs Reardon has been in the role of NSW Farmers vice president for the past four years.
Mrs Reardon is also deeply involved in all aspects of the Moree community where she and Dan have raised their three children.
"My inspiration for stepping into this role is to get agriculture in NSW and NSW Farmers Association in a stronger place for the next generation," Ms Reardon said.
“If farmers and rural communities don’t have a voice, they’ll be dealt a poorer hand."
Mrs Reardon is a graduate of the AICD and holds an honors degree in Agricultural Economics.
Brocklesby grain grower and livestock producer Justin Everitt was elected as incoming NSW vice president.
Mr Everitt and wife Kate produce wheat, canola, barley, lupins, wool and prime lambs and trade cattle on a generational family farm.
Primarily focused on grains production, Mr Everitt is recognised as a leader in the grains industry, serving as chair of the NSW Farmers Grains Committee since 2021.
