Capacity Building Sub-Commitee

9.40.59am BST (GMT +0100) Wed 18th Aug 2004

Last night we held the first meeting of the Capacity Building Sub-Committee. The Sub-Committee, which I chair was set up by the West Midlands Liberal Democrats at their last meeting.

The Sub-Committee will be looking at ways to help Local Parties develop and also how they interact with the Regional Party and also to see what the Regional Party can do for Local Parties. The Sub-Committee will look in particular at equalities and diversity, membership, training, websites and youth and student issues.

A number of good ideas came out of last nights meeting particularly about communication, membership and the Regional Conference.
