Volunteering Tasmania is delighted to announce Her Excellency Professor the Honourable Kate Warner AM, Governor of Tasmania, as our new Patron.
"It is with much pleasure that I have accepted the role of Patron of Volunteering Tasmania.
In the seven months or so that I have been Governor, I have been particularly struck by the number of community organisations that rely upon volunteers and the generosity of those who give their time.
The community benefits resulting from volunteering are many, whether tangible or intangible and I am full of admiration for those individuals who choose to volunteer.
I say this not least because community engagement is a key feature of the office of the Governor of Tasmania, and so I have a very particular interest in promoting and encouraging those who are prepared to volunteer their time and effort for the betterment of Tasmania."
