Regional parties organise regular conferences in their area once or twice per year. Regional conferences are a chance to debate policy, deliver training to activists, hear from senior politicians and meet other Liberal Democrats from your area. The Regional Conference Officer is the person who organises these events and manages them on the day.
This role would suit somebody with a good aptitude for events, strong people skills, who knows how to manage a budget and who enjoys working under a little pressure.
The time required for this role varies throughout the year. It is typically a nominal amount most of the time, but will take up 10-15 hours per week in the weeks running up to and immediately after conference.
This role is elected at the regional AGM. Any member of the regional party can stand for election.
