Tipperary participant chosen for LGFA Female Leadership programme
Caoimhe Ryan from the St Patrick's club will take part
The Ladies Gaelic Football Association (LGFA) has announced the list of 24 participants in its fourth ‘Learn to Lead’ Female Leadership programme.
They include Caoimhe Ryan from the St Patrick's Club in Tipperary.
‘Learn to Lead’ – a unique programme launched in 2019 – was devised to develop the next generation of female leaders within Ladies Gaelic Football.
20 graduates from the inaugural programme were honoured in February 2020, followed by the celebration of 2021/2022 graduates in May 2022, before 2022/2023 participants were saluted in February 2024.
The 2025/2026 course will be delivered once again by experts in the fields of leadership, coaching, officiating, administration and PR/Media.
There was a huge response to the LGFA’s call for applicants, with a long-list whittled down to 24 – six in each strand.
Over the course of four days and six evenings, diverse leadership skills will be examined, with the focus firmly on developing the skill sets and techniques required to master each of the four strands.
The final list of 24 participants includes leading coaches, officials, administrators and players, representing the four provinces.
The programme will commence in the coming weeks and run until February 2026.
