Leadership takes many forms, but it always starts with people who are willing to step forward.
In the latest instalment of our Built to Last series, Property Council New Zealand Chief Executive, Leonie Freeman, reflects on the progress our industry has made in becoming more diverse, inclusive and representative and why creating opportunities for people to lead has never been more important.
"I want property to be a place where everybody belongs, and everybody has a place."
That belief extends beyond our workplaces. It also shapes how we govern Property Council.
Nominations are now open for the 2026–27 National Board and Committee positions, giving members the opportunity to help shape the future of our organisation and the wider property industry.
Our volunteer leaders play a vital role in strengthening advocacy, guiding events and professional development, building industry connections and ensuring Property Council continues to represent the diverse voices of our membership.
Whether you’re an experienced governance professional or looking to take the next step in your leadership journey, we encourage members from across New Zealand’s property sector to consider putting themselves forward.
Watch Leonie’s story to hear why representation matters and explore how you can play a part in shaping the future of Property Council.
