Dear Member
I am delighted to announce the SDLP Youth Annual Conference will take place on Saturday 5th September from 10am to 6pm at the Wellington Park Hotel in Belfast. All party members are invited to the Conference, and we would ask you to confirm your attendance early.
The conference is an opportunity for SDLP Youth to debate motions, to formulate policy papers and decide our priorities and policies for the coming year.
At the conference, the SDLP Youth Executive for 2009/10 will be elected and we are now inviting members of the party aged 30 and under to nominate themselves to run for the positions. The eight posts available are: Chair, Vice-Chair, Public Relations Officer, Campaigns Officer, Treasurer, Secretary, Universities & Colleges Officer, and International Officer.
The election will take place between 10am and 1pm at the conference, with counting taking place in the afternoon and the results announced thereafter. The election will be operated using the PR-STV system. To be entitled to vote, you must be a paid-up 2009 party member, aged 30 and under, on 1st September 2009.
The deadline for submitting motions for conference or nomination to run for election to the Executive is extended until 5pm on 21st August 2009, but we would still urge you to submit these as soon as possible.
If you wish to attend conference, run for election, or submit motions please contact Janine Irvine on 028 9024 7700 or email janine.irvine AT sdlphq.ie
