Advocacy
At the Creative Skills Retail Council (CSRC), we believe advocacy should never come at a cost to our members - because when we advocate, everyone benefits.
Instead, membership provides opportunity to actively participate and help shape that advocacy through our projects, advisory groups, and committees.
By working side by side with members to identify issues, develop policy positions, and co-design initiatives, we ensure our purpose and objectives are well guided and reflective of diverse voices.
