Becoming a Councillor: Briefing & Discussion Group @ Central Reading - TBC depending on numbers

This event is being organised by the Reading & Districts Labour Party Women’s Forum.
We want to encourage as many women as possible to put themselves forward for local council elections.
However the event will be open to all Reading Labour Party members as the learning can benefit all.

There are however particular issues women have linked to pursuing a role like this and if there is a mixed group we will split into small groups to allow more open discussion about some of these.

In Reading, Wokingham and West Berkshire where we have Reading Labour Party Members, there will be local elections in 2018 for Reading and Wokingham and 2019 for West Berkshire.

There will therefore be a selection process soon for these areas to identify and support candidates leading up to this.

The session will hear from experienced people about the process of selection and also the role itself. We will also like to hear from you about your most important development needs are to prepare you and support you in the role.

If you are just interested in finding out more of want to simply come to an event and meet other members then you are most welcome. Attending does not mean you are signing up, just that you are more interested in finding out more.

If there is a large sign up for this and we need to book a big room, you may be asked for a small donation to help pay for it but we will let you know nearer the time.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Many thanks
Ali
