Given the size and complexity of organising the combined ecoforum & SustRem Conference we have developed a structure that we believe will enable us to capture wealth of experience and give justice to each area of the event.
In summary, there is a core Committee and four (4) sub-Committees. The Committee’s will be supported by Associate Committee members.
Committee
Role: Is responsible for the overall development of the Program, including defining key themes and streams. The Committee will review and endorse recommendations from the sub-Committees and liaise with the Associate Committee to source expertise and seek assistance in the delivery of actions. The Committee will be required to liaise with the SIGs to determine the level of interest in participating in the Conference.
