The executive is responsible for setting the agenda for CIF meetings, processing applications for presentations and dealing with any administrative issues which relate to the running of the bi-monthly forums. Generally, the agenda is set four weeks ahead of each CIF meeting and is available a fortnight prior to each meeting.

CIF is an independent forum which was initiated by KIC and is jointly supported by KIC, Department of Industry & Resources, the Town of Kwinana and the City of Rockingham. However none of these bodies either administer or control the CIF. All decisions relating to the administration of CIF and its schedule of presentations are made by the CIF Executive and then implemented by the CIF co-ordinator. Any member of the community or industry representative can (and many do) make recommendations to the CIF Executive.
