TRANSFORMING EDUCATION – A NEW INITIATIVE FROM UNITED NETWORKS FOR GROWTH

UNG Founder Annie Hardock took her 30 years of entrepreneurial experience to launch United Networks for Growth in February 2020. Annie’s expertise in children’s education over the past 10 years has led her to expand United Networks for Growth with a new Education Advisory Board this year. Her goal is to foster active participation among educators, learners, and parents in transforming education.

The new Education Advisory Board’s role is to support the growth of all genres of education globally. Board members are chosen because they are exceptional educators who are willing to identify, share and collaborate their resources with others to transform educational systems worldwide.
