Guy Roth Taking on New Challenges

After ten years working across three cotton based Cooperative Research Centres, Guy Roth is resigning as Chief Executive Officer of the Cotton Catchment Communities Cooperative Research Centre (Cotton CRC).

“Guy will be missed by the Cotton CRC and its partners alike” said Mr David Anthony, Chairman of the Cotton CRC Board.

“A large part of the success of the Cotton CRC can be attributed to Guy’s enthusiastic and energetic leadership approach”.

Mr Roth played a key role in the successful ‘2005 bid’, for a third cotton based Cooperative Research Centre, focussed across the Cotton Industry, its Catchments and Communities.

Mr Anthony said, “Guy’s ability to create valuable networks has enabled the Cotton CRC to attract a greater number of stakeholders including Catchment and Community bodies”.

The Cotton CRC is now working with these bodies to undertake research and development in a diverse portfolio of projects, which is evidenced in attracting $2 million in extra funding to the Cotton CRC and its partners over the last year, largely for water and natural resource management issues”.

Mr Roth said of his resignation, “this has been a difficult decision to make as the Cotton CRC and the Cotton Industry has been great to work with, making my role very rewarding.”

“From late November I will be taking up the challenge as Program Coordinator for the National Program for Sustainable Irrigation”.

Chair of the Board, Mr Anthony said “The Cotton CRC is saddened to be losing Guy, he has made a significant contribution to the company. On behalf of the Cotton CRC Board I wish Guy and his family great success for the future.”
