Mr Donald, who farms at Winton, is a chartered fellow of the Institute of Directors, councillor and member of the audit and risk committee for the Southern Institute of Technology and a trustee and chairman of the audit and risk committee for the Agri-Women's Development Trust.
Nine candidates contested the three vacancies this year and Nikki Davies-Colley, from Northland, was re-elected. The other new director was Warren Parker, from Bay of Plenty, who recently stepped down as chief executive of Scion, the New Zealand Forest Research Institute.
• Dawn Sangster and Russell Drummond have been re-elected unopposed to the board of Alliance Group.
Mrs Sangster, who farms at Ranfurly, has been on the board since 2011, while Mr Drummond, from Avondale, has served one term.
