This year’s recipients - Jesse Beveridge, Ryan Irvine, Vanessa Copeland, and Carlton Park Surf Life Saving Club - will be supported to take on unique development opportunities designed to strengthen leadership, innovation, and connection in the surf life saving community.
Now in its third year, the TasPorts Leadership Scholarship program reflects the strong partnership between TasPorts and SLST. Together, the organisations share a commitment to safer waterways and developing the next generation of leaders.
SLST CEO, Tony van den Enden, congratulated the recipients and the significant roles they play in our community.
“These development opportunities will deliver real benefits — not just to each recipient, but to surf life saving across Tasmania,” he said.
“With the generous support of TasPorts, we can continue to inspire our members to reach their full potential while strengthening marine safety in Tasmania.”
TasPorts General Counsel and Company Secretary, Angie Somann-Crawford said, “the Leadership Scholarship program provides opportunities for members to take on professional development that makes a real difference in their communities.
"We’re proud to support initiatives that build capability, strengthen leadership, and ultimately help keep Tasmanians safe on the water,” she said.
