Guardala keen to make an impact
THE Property Industry Foundation has appointed CEO of Lancini Property Group and Laurence Lancini Constructions Salvatore Guardala to its board of advisers.
Mr Guardala brings with him more than 17 years of industry experience and knowledge to support the foundation in building homes for homeless young people.
Mr Guardala says he joins the foundation already familiar with the team and culture after having affiliations for many years and is excited about the opportunity the position allows him to make through meaningful contributions such as his time and using his industry ties.
“The Property Industry Foundation is an opportunity to make a small change that leads to a bigger change. To help homelessness and domestic violence is a generational shift, which, if we get it right now, the future solution is more prosperous,” Mr Guardala said.
“I think there’s a real opportunity in Townsville to make a difference for people.”
Property Industry Foundation Queensland Chairman Greg Clarke said he was thrilled about Mr Guardala’s appointment.
He believes he is a perfect fit as a proactive industry partner with a strong passion for empowering young people to improve their lives.
“The foundation has always perfectly positioned itself to make a real difference in the lives of Queenslanders and together with the support of Salvatore, our abilities will only be strengthened,” Mr Clarke said.
“With continued support from our incredible board of advisers and the greater Queensland property community, we will deliver more on the ground – more facilities for homeless young people, more upgrades to ageing stock and, fundamentally, more bedrooms to house our homeless.”
The foundation has distributed nearly $30m to youth homelessness causes over 25 years.
