Canwest DHI's first Honourary Director is from the Woodstock area.
Cox Wensink manages the family farm - Hoenhorst Farms Limited - in Innerkip.
They milk 440 cows.
The Honourary Director position is a first for Canwest DHI.
An Honourary Director assumes all the responsibilities and expectations of an elected director but does not have the right to vote.
Canwest DHI officials say the appointment is consistent with other industry initiatives to develop future leadership skills.
Wensink is expected to gain practical experience from the position while bringing another perspective to the Canwest DHI board.
