Jane Howlett,Minister for Sport and Recreation
As Minister for Sport and Recreation, I would like to thank outgoing AFL Tasmania CEO Trisha Squires for the contribution she has made to football in the state and wish her all the best on her new role with AFL Queensland.
Trisha began with AFL Tasmania in 2018, becoming the first female CEO in AFL Tasmania's history. She has since been a strong advocate for football in Tasmania, helping to grow the game across the state.
I would also like to congratulate Damian Gill who has been appointed as the Head of AFL Tasmania and I have no doubt that he will bring a high level of commitment and professionalism to the role.
The Tasmanian Government continues to be a strong support of football in the state, from grassroots level to the Tasmanian State League, and despite the challenges faced due to COVID-19, we remain committed to securing a Tasmanian AFL and AFLW team for the state and we will continue to work with the AFL and AFL Taskforce to make this happen in the future.
