Guild's Qld branch President Chris Owen (pictured) congratulated Burrey for her election as a Member Elect for the Central Queensland District.
"I welcome Jess who has dedicated 15 years to community pharmacy in Emerald, and has been a pharmacy owner for eight years," Owen said.
Burrey, a community pharmacist for 18 years, graduated from the University of Queensland in 2005 and holds a Graduate Certificate in Business from the University of Southern Queensland.
She is also part of the Queensland Community Pharmacy Scope of Practice Pilot.

"We wish him the best as he continues his work in rural town of Dysart," he added.
Re-elected committee members include Owen, Kos Sclavos, Rick Xynias, Amanda Seeto, and Fiona Watson for the Brisbane region.
