CIRC 087: INFORMATION MEETING: 9TH NOVEMBER 2021 - CENTRAL WESTMINSTER HALL, LONDON

The National Executive Committee have finalised a comprehensive agenda that will be given on the above date. This gives an opportunity for NEC speakers and Full Time Officers to update branch officials on the work of the POA at National level so that branch officials can update their members accordingly.

As previously stated, this is not a decision-making forum as that only occurs at Annual Conference but hopefully the information given will assist each branch in formulating conference motions for next year, where branches can then set the agenda for the NEC in the coming years. This Information Meeting also gives the NEC an opportunity to thank branch officials at local level for the magnificent work they have done during the pandemic.
