Chris Durkin has served as a director on the Challenge Community Services board for over 15 years. As the father of a daughter with a disability, he felt it was his duty to assist the organisation wherever he could and he enjoys having input into the disability industry. Mr Durkin said it was very rewarding to know he was a part of an organisation helping those less fortunate. He said the decisions the Challenge Board of Directors make had the potential to have a huge impact on the lives of its clients, carers, and children. Mr Durkin has been a member of the South Tamworth Lions Club for 35 years. His interest in clay target shooting has led to his involvement with the Tamworth Clay Target Club, including six years as their treasurer.
