He also holds board experience in the not-for-profit sector and currently serves on the governance, audit, risk, and finance committee for Dietitians Australia.
“Scott is a qualified lawyer with a strong background in organisational strategy, governance, insurance, financial management, government relations, policy, and lobbying,” said Leanne Pilkington, president of the Real Estate Institute of Australia.
She also acknowledged interim CEO Maria Edwards for her contributions during the transition.
“Her leadership has been invaluable, and we thank her for her service to the organisation during this transitional stage,” Pilkington said.
