Accolade for Gulf Savannah head
GULF Savannah NRM’s chief executive officer Zoe Williams scooped the Manager in Business Award at the recent Cairns Business Women’s Club annual awards ceremony.
The accolade acknowledges her outstanding skills as a senior manager and recognises that under her leadership the not-for-profit organisation has grown from just five staff to a team of 20 employees working across offices in Mareeba, Georgetown and Croydon.
Zoe joined Gulf Savannah NRM in 2018 and oversees the natural resource management company’s mission to support sustainable agriculture, thriving regional communities and healthy environments for the Northern Gulf region.
“Through increasing the organisation’s size and being successful in gaining additional funding we have been able to deliver more programs to support local communities in agricultural innovation, disaster preparedness, environmental education and threatened species conservation,” she said.
In 2021, Zoe oversaw a name change and complete rebranding of the organisation with the introduction of the Gulf Savannah NRM trading name – previously the company operated as the Northern Gulf Resource Management Group.
“I'm always seeking new opportunities for the organisation. This year we will launch our 10-year strategic plan, Beyond the Horizon, with corporate values and goals to guide Gulf Savannah NRM into the future,” she said.
