Summary
Driven by a desire to make a difference, Canberra’s not-for-profit organisations rely on passion, expertise and community support to thrive.
The Experienced Network (TEN) bridges the gap between community passion and professional expertise. Our network of senior and retired CPAs contributes valuable time, skills and experience, partnering with local not-for-profits to help them achieve their goals and build a stronger Canberra community.
This event will show you how your wealth of professional knowledge and experience can make a meaningful difference in the charity and not-for-profit sector.
