26-May 2020 – MEDIA RELEASE: New National Voice from the future – Launch of the Alliance of Social Enterprise Networks Australia (ASENA)
2020 has seen disruption to ‘business-as-usual’ in a way that most of us haven’t experienced in our lifetimes. At this time of unprecedented social and economic change, social enterprise networks in each State and Territory have united to build a common vision for a better future and form a new national voice for the social enterprise sector – the Alliance of Social Enterprise Networks Australia (ASENA).
