Need

A diverse seaweed industry is evolving within Australia with ongoing research into a number of novel value add opportunities such as clothing dyes, feed additives, and bio-medical uses. Many aquaculture producers are expanding their existing leases to include seaweed production. The needs of the emerging seaweed industry are likely quite different to those of more established aquaculture industries.

Key players both domestically and internationally will be in attendance at this conference so it is an excellent opportunity to better understand the needs of the sector and assisting the industry to develop and prosper.

Objectives

1. Attend the 24th International Seaweed Symposium- Tasmania Feb 2023

Need

This course, 'The Role of the Chair' is presented by the Australian Institute of Company Directors, and as such is a well recognised and regarded training body. The course itself explores the unique leadership responsibilities, including their relationships with other board members and the CEO that the Chair person's position has. It is a one day course held in Sydney, and requires pre-study and follow up review work.

The course offers a rare opportunity to discreetly discuss leadership and governance issues – including board selection, boardroom processes and CEO succession planning – with fellow chairs and experienced directors.

The benefit to the FRDC and to the industry is the improved skills and capabilities of Kate Brooks, most immediately in her role as Chairperson for the FRDC C&C Steering Committee, but also other Chairperson roles she may step up to such as those with OzFish Unlimited, or the SA Government, as the most immediate possibilities.

Objectives

1. Undertake the Role of the Chair, Australian Institute of Company Directors (AICD) course
2. Participant obtains a greater understanding of Chair’s leadership role and key governance responsibilities
