During this second installment of our quarterly Private Sector Network calls, we will continue to explore what defines the creative economy and hear about examples across the country on how this
work is addressing broader community issues. This call is open to all AFTA members, particularly those interested in learning more about private sector work.
We’re looking forward to sharing these learning experiences with you.
Best,
Cristyn
