New York surveyor Steve Williams has been appointed RICS president at the institution’s annual governing council meeting.
The meeting also agreed to the appointment of Graham Chase of Chase & Partners to the role of senior vice-president, beating outside candidate Tony Towell, a building surveyor.
Aston Rose’s John Williams, who earlier this year became the first senior vice-president of the institution not to become the recommended candidate, dropped out of the race after failing to be nominated independently last week.
Williams beat official senior vice-presidential nominee Delva Patman to the more junior role last year.
However, both Towell and Patman have now become vice-presidents, along with Martin Hayter, Chris Shaw, Peter Goodacre, and David Tuffin.
