The BOOTS say it all




My name is Sue Gordon and I am one of the TASC team. The team comprises a really terrific bunch fo people who are genuinely committed to the principles of Social Justice. I consider it a privilige to come to work at TASC. The reason is simple. We get to work with and for people who face challenges that to many that would be insurmountable. Challenges like discrimination, vilification, injustice, isolation, marginalisation, disabilities and more. These are the people who have taught me the value of a kind word, the value of time taken to listen, really listen, the need at times for assistance to get back on their feet or address a problem, the value of community inclusion and understanding and the value of every single human being.

I have one of the young 'old timers' at TASC having commenced work in 2002...I have participated in Award winning initiatives and Projects and continue to play a role in challenging the status quo, in working towards better ways and better systems. I have watched this organisation grow into the dynamic and leading organisation it is today, an organisation that is changing our part of the world. I think the "BOOTS" say it all for me....
'Changing the world one step at a time'! I am proud to be part of this team.
