The GM Social Enterprise Network has been asked to nominate someone from the Social Enterprise sector to serve on the GM Co-operative Commission.
The Commission will be convened by Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, to make policy recommendations which will support the continued development of the co-operative sector in GM and to ensure that GMCA is drawing on the benefits that co-operatives can bring to our local economy.
We are looking for individuals with a background in a co-operative social enterprise, currently based in GM, who would be interested in being nominated.
