Chairman's Panel

The Chairman’s Panel brings together a respected group of Australia’s leading Chief Executives and Chairs from top Australian and global companies all with an interest in, and commitment to, the Reef.

Members of the Chairman’s Panel have the opportunity to engage in a unique education program, visiting the Reef - learning first-hand about its complexity, the threats it faces and how scientists, managers and policy makers are responding.

Through the Panel, the Foundation also offers the opportunity for employees and stakeholders of companies involved in the Chairman's Panel to learn about the Reef and the efforts to protect it, participating in initiatives like the ReefBlitz program.

Members also lend their personal and organisational expertise to the science we support. The infrastructure, skills and resources of member companies can be invaluable in enhancing the science effort through access to technology, funding, knowledge and hosting network events.
