The roles <strong>and</strong> responsibilities of members of<br />

the Board, their code of conduct <strong>and</strong> SRDC<br />

policies <strong>and</strong> procedures are detailed in the<br />

SRDC’s Business Process Management System<br />

(BPMS). This system is available via an internal<br />

intranet site <strong>and</strong> all SRDC employees <strong>and</strong><br />

directors are required to view the BPMS at<br />

Board activities <strong>and</strong> industry involvement<br />

During 2010–2011, the Board commissioned two<br />

reviews: an annual review of investment clusters<br />

that was incorporated into the RDCs review of<br />

research investment; <strong>and</strong> an analysis of potential<br />

areas for future investment.<br />

Throughout the year, members took a keen<br />

interest in activities of the <strong>Corporation</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

participated in a number of in-house <strong>and</strong><br />

regional seminars <strong>and</strong> workshops. They visited<br />

the Burdekin growing area <strong>and</strong> Townsville<br />

research establishments <strong>and</strong> represented the<br />

SRDC during industry events <strong>and</strong> as members<br />

on selection panels for capacity building projects<br />

<strong>and</strong> SRDC scholarships.<br />
