Insurance matters
A regular column from RACT Insurance CEO Trent Sayers
As the football season winds up, I look
back with some satisfaction on the
support of R ACT Insurance for the
competition this year.
During the course of the season I've
received many expressions of thanks for
our sponsorship, which is aimed at
nurturing the new Statewide League --
not so much for the sake of the league
itself, as for the Tasmanian community
which so enthusia stically contributes
to it.
What first attracted us to this sponsorship
was the grass-roots nature of the game.
Every community in Tasmania is involved,
and we have a long and proud record of
supporting Tasmanian communities.
Whether it's devising the Tasmanian
Youth Portrait Prize for emerging young
artists, our involvement in Project U-Turn,
which helps to rehabilitate young
offenders and at-risk groups, our liaison
and lobbying to get a better deal for
acquired brain injury sufferers, or staff
work in charity orga nisation s, our
sponsorship efforts are all aimed at
helping make a better Tasmania.
AFL Tasmania tells us that that some
100,000 Tasmanians are actively involved
in football each weekend of the footy
calendar.
It's not just a game in Tasmania -- it's part
of the fabric of every city and town.
Footy brings the community together, but
it relies on the efforts of many people, in
many different ways, in many different
Tasmanian communities.
Crucially, from our point of view, much
of this support is volunteer-based.
That's why we supported the Statewide
League and we're now looking at new
ways in which we can increase our
involvement next season, with a particular
emphasis on assisting the volunteer base
for the game.
So in term s of community support, this
has been a good year for us, with a most
successful Youth Portrait Prize, and a
great start to the new Statewide League.
