Published on August 23, 2024
ASONE Perform CIC (ASONE) is on the lookout for passionate and dedicated individuals to join ASONE Hub's NEW Strategic Advisory Group (AO SAG).
This significant development comes on the heels of a comprehensive review that led to the dissolution of the previous Strategic Advisory Group Board (SAGB). The review concluded that, to fully meet the criteria set by the 2024/25 funding agreement and Local Plan for Music Education (LPME) guidance, a broader range of perspectives that better represent key stakeholders, including young people, schools, parents, carers, partners, and the wider arts and music sectors is paramount.
