EUROPEAN ASSOCIATIONS 2020 DIGITAL REPORT

Lise Fuhr, ETNO Director General: “The year of 2020 was a challenging ride worldwide and it pushed ETNO to rethink our advocacy and interactions with members.

Being recognised as a “Champion” in the Climate Communications and Members & Partnership categories of Cambre’s latest report on EU associations is one of many good examples of this resilience and gives us the fuel to continue the good work in 2021!”
