For more than a decade, Liz Banks served as President and Chair of Netball Tasmania, guiding our sport with unwavering commitment and professionalism.
Liz championed strong governance, developing a new Constitution in partnership with Member's and oversaw the dissolution of the long- standing State League Commission. Under Liz's leadership the Netball Tasmania Board grew in both members and expertise.
Not without challenge, Liz also navigated the impact of COVID-19 on our sport and community. Liz was instrumental in ensuring our sport survived the pandemic, establishing appropriate systems and mechanisms that saw our sport as one of the first in Tasmania to return to competition.
Over her 12 years as President and Chair, Liz worked closely with our community and national stakeholders. Some of them best describe her impact:
"Liz represented Tasmania with professionalism, integrity and a deep sense of responsibility, earning the utmost respect of all those who worked alongside her. Liz consistently demonstrated a thoughtful, forward-looking approach, with one eye firmly on the future of the game. Her considered contributions and steady leadership made her a highly valued and trusted member of the netball community. The sport is undoubtedly better for her involvement.
And
"Liz, your leadership, strategic thinking and exceptional governance skills have fostered a culture of excellence that will undoubtedly leave a lasting legacy"
Thank you for your time and dedication to the sport of Netball Liz, congratulations on your induction as Life Member of Netball Tasmania.
