Organisational Structure of AFBMNetwork

AFBMNetwork structure comprises a Board of Management, supported by an Executive Officer, and the membership group.

After the 2004 AFBMNetwork Conference the Board of Management was established as a replacement body to the Founding Steering Committee. It comprises thirteen (13) members subdivided in two groups:

  • A group of five (5) appointed members representing the tertiary organisational members of AFBMNetwork. The organisational members are Charles Sturt University, Curtin University of Technology-Muresk Institute, Massey University, Marcus Oldham College and The University of Melbourne-Institute of Land and Food Resources.
  • A group of eight (8) elected members in the biennial general meeting of AFBMNetwork members

The Board of Management appoints an Executive Officer to uphold the administrative matters of the AFBMNetwork and interact in a close manner with the Chair and Deputy Chair of the Board of Management. These three(3) persons constitute the Executive Group of AFBMNetwork which interacts closely with the remaining members of the Board for decision-making purposes.
