Property Council’s Jen Williams to step down
The Property Council of Australia has announced QLD Executive Director Jen Williams will leave the organisation in February to pursue other career opportunities, after 12 years of service to the organisation.
Ms Williams announced her resignation in front of 1700 Queensland Property Council members this afternoon, who had gathered at the end of year Christmas celebration at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Ms Williams has served as Executive Director of the Property Council of Australia’s QLD Division since 2021, and prior to that was the Division’s Deputy Executive Director for seven years.
Chief Executive of the Property Council Mike Zorbas paid tribute to Williams’ valuable service to the industry and public policy in Queensland.
“Jen has been a tireless and effective leader for Queensland’s vibrant property industry and we thank her for her incredible contribution,” Mr Zorbas said.
“For over a decade, Jen has represented and supported hundreds of members across our Committees in Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and Townsville.
“Jen has earned a reputation for delivering hard-hitting and effective campaigns on issues that matter to Queenslanders, and doing it with a fierce determination, a strong sense of fairness and deep compassion for everyone around her.
“Jen is a powerful champion for the industry, and after twelve terrific years, she has made the decision to down tools and take a thoroughly deserved break before considering what is next in her career,” he said.
Ms Williams said she was proud of her time at the Property Council.
“It has been an incredible honour to lead the Property Council and the industry in Queensland,” Ms Williams said.
“I am particularly thankful to the members I got to work with every day, the leaders of the Property Council, and of course our high-performing Queensland team who deliver day in day out for our industry,” she said.
Ms Williams’ last day with the Property Council will be 28 February 2024. A search process for her successor will commence shortly.
