“Jess is a well-respected and highly regarded leader in the Queensland Division and our national organisation.

Jen’s last day was 28 February 2024.
“Jen has been a powerful advocate, and a compassionate leader. She has always championed our industry with passion and led her team with pride. In so doing, Jen has helped our members to make Queensland cities better.
