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 />
the commencement of employment during<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 />
