In 2013 another ten unsung club heroes are in line to win AFL Tasmania’s prestigious RACT Insurance State League Volunteer of the Year award.
Each club has provided a summary of their nominee’s length of service, a description on how important the volunteer is to on-going operations and a narrative that outlines the contender’s passion and commitment to their club.
Every volunteer associated with a RACT Insurance State League club, irrespective of their seniority in a club’s structure, was eligible for nomination.
The League’s management team will evaluate nominations and determine the winner.
In 2012, Steve Maxwell from the Glenorchy Football Club won the award.
The list of nominations are of a very high calibre, who contribute to tasks such as canteen preparation and raffle ticket selling, to offering their services as team managers and trainers and coaching junior teams.
All nominees have been invited to AFL Tasmania’s RACT Insurance State League Grand Final luncheon on September 21, where State League General Manager, Shaun Young, will announce the winner.
State League General Manager, Shaun Young, said, “the award, which has been in existence since the inception of the TSL, is a crucial element in recognizing that volunteers are the heart and soul of a footy club.
“Too often these hardworking volunteers are the forgotten resource in football clubs, this award is designed specifically to address this habit.
“The TSL Volunteer of the Year award enables each TSL club to show their appreciation of the people behind the success of their club and thank them for what they bring to their community.
“The staff and management at AFL Tasmania also greatly appreciate the efforts of volunteers and the passion they have for their clubs and football”.
