It’s that time of the year again when the FIGT community thanks and gives our fond farewells to outgoing Board Members. In this post, we hear from Trisha Carter as she shares the three things she cherishes most from her time as FIGT Secretary.

Of the many positives Trisha says she bring away from her time on the FIGT Board, there are three main things she cherishes most.

"Firstly, and most profoundly, I am so appreciative for the relationships built working in a global team, across time zones, datelines, languages and cultural differences - all of us unified with a common purpose! These relationships have been the greatest treasure.  

Secondly, the opportunity to work for a purpose that I am deeply committed to - supporting people in global transitions / in cross-cultural experiences.  Building bridges of understanding has always been vital for me. 

And thirdly, these past four years working in a strategic team guiding this precious NFP organisation through the challenges of everything the world has thrown at us - this has been the greatest opportunity for learning and growth. I’m very grateful for all of it. "
