Hence we are pleased to be affiliated with the CSIRO Alumni. The CSIRO Alumni was an initiative of the former CSIRO Chief Executive, Dr. Geoff Garrett, and was officially launched in December 2003. Since then, the membership has grown to more than 3,000 members (April 2009) and continues to grow.
Dr Jim Cullen, former Chief of CSIRO Entomology and staff member for almost 33 years, offered his time and experience to take on the role of Founder President of CSIRO Alumni.
Over the past year, efforts have been focused on establishing an infrastructure to allow members to contribute to and influence the further development of the Alumni. Regional Chapters with local committees have been established in Perth, Tasmania, Canberra and Sydney so events and activities can be organised that are of interest to local members. Establishing Chapters in other states and regions are planned in the near future.
The Alumni’s latest initiative, developing The Alumni Online Network, is a vital tool to continue developing the Alumni network both socially and professionally.
Alumni members have the opportunity to keep in touch with other Alumni, renew friendships and create new relationships across science, the community, industry and business. As part of the extended CSIRO community you will be:
