Future Women MPs Weekend - application deadline extended
Due to the interest shown at the recent Autumn Conference, the deadline for applications has been moved to 5pm on Monday 31st October- apply now if you would like to attend!
CGB is pleased to announce the next annual Future Women MPs Weekend - an intensive residential training weekend specifically designed for women who want to stand in competitive seats in this electoral cycle. Participants will receive expert training from top trainers and Party representatives on the skills and knowledge needed for these seats, personalised advice and guidance on their political career, and chance to network with other future women candidates.
Previous participants have given the following feedback on the course: "A motivating and inspiring weekend. The courses were informative and interesting and the trainers were brilliant. I left after the weekend with new friends and contacts and a good support network."
"Re-invigorating, empowering, and inspiring....I'm so glad I came!"
"The weekend really made a huge difference to me in terms of understanding the challenge ahead, knowing what support I would receive, making a lot of useful contacts and friends and above all being encouraged to go for it. It was invaluable!"
If you would like to participate on the 2011 course, please fill out the attached application form, and return it to diversity@libdems.org.uk by 5 pm on Monday, 31st October.
Unfortunately we have a strictly limited number of spaces on the course, but we will be in touch as soon as we can after the deadline to let you know if you have been allocated a place. Please note that if you are selected for a place on the course, we ask for a £75 contribution towards the costs, which includes all accommodation and meals for the duration of the weekend (financial assistance may be available if the cost is prohibitive for you).
