With almost three decades in the cotton industry, Joanne Grainger has represented the industry in many of its major policy forums, donating countless hours of her own time for the betterment of the industry.
From 2007 to 2010, Joanne was the Chair of Cotton Australia (she joined the Board in 2002), where she oversaw the merger of the organisation with the Australian Cotton Growers Research Association. This paved the way for a new industry structure that reduced duplication and streamlined the advocacy efforts of the industry across all major policy areas.
Cotton Australia CEO Adam Kay says these awards recognise people from across the industry, both those with the youth and vigour to contribute again and again to their industry in the future, along with those who have been doing that service for many years.
“The Australian Cotton Industry Awards are in their eighth year, and as the resurgent Australian Cotton Industry looks ahead to another record crop, our key strength will always remain in the people of our industry.”
“Cotton Australia thanks everyone involved, all who nominated and congratulates our finalists and winners who are leading the way for our industry,” he said.
The Awards were presented by sponsor representatives from Cotton Seed Distributors, Bayer CropScience, AgriRisk, Monsanto and Cotton Australia.
