The Announcement:
The Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) has announced the election of two new Directors to its Board after the results were revealed at today’s AGM.
In accordance with the Institute’s Constitution and by-laws, Daniel Burrett and Nadine Edwards were elected to the REIQ Board for a three-year term.
REIQ Chairman Peter Brewer congratulated Daniel and Nadine on their successful campaigns amid a high number of qualified candidates vying for the roles.
“I want to acknowledge the particular honour it is to have secured these positions in a year where the number and quality of candidates was exceptional,” Mr Brewer said.
“Daniel and Nadine are both highly ambitious and accomplished regional community leaders, from Toowoomba and Cairns respectively, and possess business acumen, sound strategic thinking, and a steadfast commitment to professional standards.”
In accepting his position, Mr Burrett said, “I look forward on building on my contributions to the REIQ, in particular bringing focus to the areas of digital communication, wellbeing support, and continuing professional development.”
Ms Edwards said, “I’m grateful to those who supported and endorsed my nomination, I consider this position as an honour and a privilege, and I intend to bring the same passion I have for real estate to this role.”
REIQ CEO Antonia Mercorella welcomed the appointments and highlighted the benefits of a diverse Board.
“Our Constitution has preserved positions for regional directors, female directors and an under 35-year-old director, as well as non-member directors who possess complementary specific skills and knowledge,” Ms Mercorella said.
With Mr Burrett stepping down as Zone Chair for Toowoomba, Ms Mercorella announced Katie Knight as his successor for the remainder of the term.
“As the former Zone Chair for the region, Katie will seamlessly reassume the position and we have full confidence in her ability to support the REIQ’s goals in her Zone,” she said.
