WAMSI GOVERNORS
WAMSI is an unincorporated joint venture of the research member parties. Each of these members has a nominated Governor.
Governors provide input to WAMSI’s planning process, and annually appoint a Governing Board, including an independent Chairperson.
The University of Western Australia is the Centre Agent on behalf of the partners. It provides accommodation, administrative support and is the legal entity for WAMSI.
