Our Board

Chris McDermott

Founder and Board Chairman

Chris McDermott is the founder of Little Heroes Foundation and is currently the Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer. Chris is perhaps best known as the inaugural captain of the Adelaide Crows and it was through the Adelaide Crows that Chris was first introduced to Nicholas and Nathan, who were both battling cancer at the time. It was these two boys who inspired Chris and Tony McGuinness to form the organisation that became Little Heroes Foundation.

“I very much look forward to joining the Board of Little Heroes Foundation and supporting Chris and the team to continue their amazing work in the community. We’ve obviously got a lot of history [Chris and I], but we’re both united and passionate about this cause, and I look forward to being more involved with the foundation in this role.”

Jane Flanagan

Jane’s experience as a board member for other organisations, plus her ability to connect with people will be invaluable to Little Heroes Foundation moving forward.

“I’ve loved supporting Little Heroes Foundation for many years, and now to be a part of the board is a very exciting opportunity that I look forward to making my own. Plus, I know Chris better than most and we are both passionate about the same cause, which will drive the work I will do as a board member.”
