Join a Community of Practice
Local Government Community of Practice
This group started meeting in 2023 and is an opportunity for local councils in NSW & ACT to share information, best practice resources, ideas and approaches to support social enterprises.
Topics of discussion include social procurement, grants, in-kind support and navigation for social enterprises, events and more.
Attendees come from a variety of roles including economic development, community development, procurement, executives and councillors.
The group meets quarterly online.
Members include:
City of Sydney
Parramatta City Council
Wollongong City Council
Bayside Council
““I’m looking forward to being more involved with the CoP – I think it’s invaluable and I really appreciate you making this happen.””
Piloting a new approach for Communities of Practice
With a growing membership and demand for different Communities of Practice, SECNA will be trialing moving from online meetings to hosting Communities of Practice Connection events to provide members with an opportunity to find and connect with fellow social enterprises/entrepreneurs and supporters with a shared focus. These events will be one off with members encouraged to continue building their network and connecting with each other afterwards.
In 2024, SECNA will trial hosting a Community of Practice Connection circular economy focused event.
