NENA was formally set up as a Cooperative in early 2019, and held its first AGM at the NENA Annual Conference in Perth in November 2019. Since that time, the volunteer Board Members, and fantastic team of supporters and volunteers have been busy setting up the foundation for governance and growth of a thriving network including geographic and sectoral hubs, a Participatory Budget Group and Strategic Development Group.
