Tasmanian Leaders Inc

Tasmanian Leaders Inc is a respected not-for-profit organisation committed to creating a successful future by accelerating the leadership and influence of Tasmanians. Our core business, the Tasmanian Leaders Program (TLP), is an intensive year-long action-learning program for 24 diverse participants, focused on building leadership capacity and connectivity across all sectors. In 2017 the eleventh TLP is underway. The Tasmanian Leaders Alumni is an influential network of TLP graduates leading change within their professions and communities. They aim to build on what is, to achieve what is not yet thought of. The organisation currently has 224 graduates. Thinkbanks are fora for TLP graduates to apply high-level thinking to contribute to pressing future-orientated issues. Skillsbank is a mechanism for society to access pro-bono TLP graduate support as mentors, public speakers and by filling both board and committee positions. Champions are leaders drawn from all sectors across Tasmania to be ambassadors for the organisation and provide wisdom and support to our program participants. Tasmanian Leaders is an unequivocal demonstration that with time, determination, collegial support and a shared vision, ideas can transition into tangible action that transforms people and communities. It is also testimony to the value of collaboration and the power of doing something that has at its core the advancement of many, rather than the needs of the few
