Alica Alicante Network Expands with Ampsi Collaboration
Alicante State Entrepreneurs, Professionals and Managers Association, known as Aepa, has broadened the Juntalar Network by welcoming the Association of Professional Women in the Real Estate Industry, Ampsi. This move brings the coalition to eleven organizations and strengthens the province’s largest network for women, now counting more than 1,800 members.
The accession agreement was signed by Marcela Fernández, president of Aepa, Gabriela Schneir, vice president of Ampsi, and Mª Carmen Jover, deputy for Social Services and Equality. Their signatures mark a formal commitment to joint action and shared goals.
Marcela Fernández emphasized the value of alliances, noting that the Aepa Network serves as a practical tool to highlight the work of each organization and its partners. This collaboration is structured to enhance visibility and coordinate efforts across the network’s membership.
The partnership also commits to institutional cooperation on issues of common interest. The focus is on supporting the activities of women entrepreneurs and business owners, while defending and promoting the particular interests of women in the business sphere.
The Network Cards initiative, part of the broader effort, underscores the institutional reach of the project. Known as the Red Juntas, the network now comprises eleven organizations and more than 1,800 women. It was established on March 8, 2021 with the support of the Alicante Provincial Council. Aepa played a foundational role by signing a historic and pioneering agreement among business entities in the Valencian Community.
Participating organizations include the Alicante Entrepreneurs Encouragement and Development Association (Afyde), Empresarias.com, the Rural Women and Families Association (Amfar), the Women Entrepreneurs Association of L’Alacantí (Amela), the Association of Rural Women and Disabled Women (Aracelia), and the Jovempa Federation. In March 2022, the PRM Association joined this agreement; Alicante’s Glorious College of Lawyers (Icopal); the Alicante State Journalists Association (Appa); and the Women’s Association for Equality (MX) also became part of the alliance.
