Industry Advisory Committee

An Industry Advisory Committee (IAC) has been established, comprising senior members of the Melbourne finance, business and public sectors.

This committee provides strategic advice to the Board and the Centre Director on a range of issues. These include:

• Identification of opportunities and needs for research to be conducted by the Centre
• Review of, and suggestions for further development of the work program of the Centre
• Promoting public awareness of the activities of the Centre in the business and financial communities
• Developing closer linkages between business and academe.

The Industry Advisory Committee meets four times each year, or as required. Members of the committee act in an honorary capacity. The Centre’s Director attends meetings of the IAC, ensuring that effective use of the IAC’s deliberations is made.
