CRCV Governance and Management
Governance and management of the CRCV are conducted by the Board and Executive Management Group respectively.
This structure is designed to serve two distinct functions: to manage the CRCV program so that it delivers sustainable and measurable improvements to the viticulture industry through the application of research outcomes; and to engage industry through the governance and management of its research and education programs and thus facilitate a smooth transition to an enduring industry-funded and managed research and education facility based on the CRC model.
