Brodie Hall Foundation
The Brodie-Hall Foundation was established in 2005 to underpin the continuing success of the Western Australian School of Mines (WASM) through the enhancement of excellence in teaching and research. Funding from the Brodie-Hall Foundation is used to provide resources and facilities that would not otherwise be available to WASM through conventional funding channels. It provides the means for WASM to make strategic seed-funding investments in new areas of research or teaching and supplements or enhances key infrastructure at WASM.
A Board of Trustees governs the Brodie-Hall Foundation. This Board comprises the Patron of the Western Australian School of Mines, Mr Robert Champion de Crespigny AC (Chair), the Chair of the WASM Advisory Board (Mr John Dow), the President of the WASM Graduates Association (Mr Tony James), the University Secretary (Ms Gem Cheong) and the Director of WASM. The Finance & Planning Officer of WASM is the Executive Officer of the Brodie-Hall Foundation.
