Cotton growers and others from within the Australian cotton industry are strongly encouraged to apply to join the CRDC board as part-time Non-Executive Directors.
Applications for the CRDC board positions are currently open, with up to seven directors set to join CRDC Chair Richard Haire and Executive Director Dr Ian Taylor on the board to oversee CRDC’s investments in research, development and extension.
Applications will be assessed by a selection committee, headed up by former CRDC Chair Mike Logan AM. The selection committee will make nominations to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry who will appoint the successful directors. Each director will be appointed for a term of up to three years, starting October 2023.
Nominations will be based upon board experience, diversity, and the skills and experience of the applicants in fields such as: cotton production or processing, data governance and application, digital literacy, science and technology transfer, social science and change management, innovation and commercialisation, environmental stewardship, economics or finance, public administration and corporate governance, and international marketing and trade.
