Our 2022 Director Elections have commenced

Water Research Australia is driven by passionate and highly-skilled members of our BIG Team who sit on the Board of Directors.

Our member community is key to WaterRA’s success, and the Board plays a crucial role by ensuring a strong strategic focus and good governance for WaterRA.

Every year, our election process gives our members the opportunity to drive WaterRA’s governance. Our members’ role in ensuring suitable candidates are nominated and elected on to the WaterRA Board is an important part of WaterRA’s constitution.

This year a total of five nominations were received for two vacancies. The nominees are as follows:

Utility Member Position – 1 vacancy

The election period is from 15th to 29th September 2022. All WaterRA Member Organisations are entitled to vote for all positions, however only Member Representatives can vote on behalf of their organisations. We encourage all members to liaise with their respective Member Representatives regarding voting preferences.
