Mrs Jill Chapman
 

Originally from South Australia, Jill and husband Geoff moved to western NSW in 1985. There they raised their four daughters on their 20,000 acre pastoral property south of Hay. In 2017 they sold their property and downsized to 70 acres east of Hay whilst maintaining a farming interest in SA. Jill’s employment has been based in administration with some experience in tourism, and in more recent years in community engagement. Her community roles have been many and varied with a focus on netball, school P&Cs and community groups. In 2007, Jill offered to help at the Hay Show and from 2008 to 2018 held the position of President and is currently Vice President. She has represented her show at regional level and was President of Group 9 for seven years. Jill has been a Director with the Agricultural Societies Council of NSW since February 2016 and has held the positions of Chair of Commercial, Showgirl / Young Woman and Rural Achiever and Education committee. Jill enjoys travelling the state, checking out the many beautiful showgrounds and meeting volunteers who are keeping the show movement alive and well.
