The UNSW Australian School of Business Sydney Alumni Branch Committee is pleased to invite alumni, students and their guests to an exclusive event supported by Ernst & Young with guest speaker Jon Huggett.
Jon Huggett, who is in Australia as a guest of the Centre for Social Impact, will speak about the challenges not-for-profit entities face in the current uncertain economic environment.
