Worth saying twice and twice again – President Carmel Hourigan. Always on team Property Council and now our leader. Read her opening thoughts here.
Thank you also two great Property Council leaders, Michael O’Brien now Immediate Past President and his predecessor David Harrison, stepping down from the Board after more than a decade. Proper thanks for both of them at our end of year celebrations.
Congress connections
I spoke to many of you, our inspiring members, at Townsville Congress.
First, our welcoming Townsville chapter chaired by Simon Walker. An influential group of leaders in a part of the world important for Queensland and Australia. Thank you for your leadership.               Â
A last big shout out too to our sponsors, speakers, moderators, emcee, national guests, international guests, staff cohort for whom this is also our annual gathering at summit week, and our national events team who worked tirelessly over many months to again make Congress the premier event for our industry.
