Our Management

The CRC for Irrigation Futures exists as an unincorporated joint venture but operates within corporate governance guidelines established under corporations law. The CRC for Irrigation Futures Board is skills based rather than representational. The board is appointed by our partners, who have similar rights and responsibilities to shareholders within a corporate environment.

The day-to-day management of the centre is undertaken by the Executive Management Group. The team consists of dedicated management positions, research program leaders and zone leaders drawn from our partners.
