NME Report. July 2008
July 21st, 2008 by Christian May
The position of Deputy Chairman is an interesting one to try and sum up in a report; the role is largely about dealing with problems that arise and communicating with various levels of CF. Therefore much of what I’ve been dealing with can’t be produced in a public document. However, there are plenty of other projects that I’ve been working on and the time is right to update you all.
Area Work:
Along with my NME colleagues I have a region of the UK that I’m responsible for. As well as talking to Chairman throughout that region I am also planning a visit to each of the universities in that area – including Oxford and Cambridge.
CF Bulletin:
I’m working on getting a new e-bulletin up and running that will hopefully be available to download from the website – making it much more accessible. I also want to improve the content by encouraging guest authors from (and beyond) the CF scene.
International Links:
I’ve authorised Matt Lewis to go to Malta (on our behalf) to observe the European Democratic Student conference. I look forward to his report. In the meantime, I will be meeting leading Young Republicans in the States to discuss ways that the UK youth Conservative movement to enhance its presence and effectiveness.
YBF Training
As the Conservative Party step closer to Government, all levels of the Party will come under increased scrutiny. It is therefore essential that anyone who represents the Party at an elected level is media trained, switched on and smart. Enter, YBF. I’ll be helping to co-ordinate the training of CF activists at this year’s Party Conference, as well as delivering training on campuses right around the country.
CF Convention
I idea that I’m passionate about is bringing together every single Branch and Area Chairman for a one day convention. More details to follow.
