From the CEO: 10th Feb 2021
In early 2018, Realestate.com.au reported that women accounted for about 65% of the real estate industry, but you’d find only a handful working in the top jobs. Today times have changed, with women taking up more leadership positions across all spectrums of the real estate industry. I’m proud to lead a team here at the REIQ who recognise the enormous value women bring as leaders and decision-makers in a range of diverse fields across our industry. I’m equally proud to announce that our very first in-person signature event since COVID-19 will be next month’s REIQ Women in Real Estate on Friday, 12 March 2021. Served up against the backdrop of a gourmet champagne breakfast at Brisbane’s heritage-listed Victoria Park, this year we welcome the most successful female surfer in the sport’s history and 7-time world champion Layne Beachley AO as keynote speaker. As an incredible role model for many women today, Layne’s leadership style has certainly blazed a trail for equality at the beach, on the waves and in the boardroom. With REIQ Platinum Corporate Partner realestate.com.au as this year’s principal sponsor, it’s going to be a cracker of an event that you won’t want to miss. With tickets already selling fast, I strongly encourage you secure your spot now before it’s sold out! I look forward to seeing many of you there.
