Thankyou Maddy!

The Tasmanian Community Fund Board and staff thank Maddy Way for her work as the TCF’s Intern Director in the past year.

Maddy kindly provided some reflections on her time with us.

Twelve months ago, I began my journey as an Intern Director on the Tasmanian Community Fund Board and at that time I could never have imagined just how much I would learn in a single year.

When I was first selected for the role, I was excited to deepen my understanding of the diverse communities across Tasmania and the important role the TCF plays in supporting them. I was also eager to learn from the experienced Directors on the Board, keen to absorb their governance knowledge like a sponge.

One of the highlights of my time as an Intern Director has been attending project presentations and pitches. Witnessing how passionate organisations are creating meaningful change within their local communities has been nothing short of inspiring. It’s been a true privilege to contribute to the decision-making process, bringing a young person’s perspective to board discussions and helping support initiatives that make a tangible, lasting impact across our state.

Over the past year, I’ve had the honour of working alongside eight brilliant and dedicated Directors, each bringing their unique perspective and experience to the Board. I’ve learnt so much from every one of them, both inside and outside the boardroom, and I’ve loved observing how they collaborate as a team, united by a shared commitment to creating good.

Tasmania is incredibly fortunate to have the TCF, an organisation that champions local communities and drives positive change where it matters most. I’m deeply grateful to the TCF staff and Board Directors from the past year for welcoming me, supporting me and guiding me through such a transformative journey of growth and learning.

We wish Maddy all the best and look forward to seeing where she takes all her wonderful passion and skills in the future.
