We are proud to announce that the new Chapel St Leonards Branch of the Association has had its inaugural meeting and has adopted the Association Constitution.
As part of a string of new branches which are to be rolled out across the Constituency, Cllr Dan Turner - Association Deputy Chairman Membership and Finance said "This is the first branch that I have created since taking office in March and there will be many more to follow. I intend to support the new officers moving forward in anyway possible to help nurture this new venture and increase membership to the Association. It is great news for our Executive Council as it encourages voices from parts of the Constituency whom yet have not had a say on Executive Association decisions".
It was explained that this branch administration will only be in place for a few months in line with the Constitution, as all branch AGMs must be ratified before the Association AGM in March.
The members elected the following people from amongst themselves to take office for 2016/17:
Chairman:
Cllr Colin Davie
Deputy Chairman Political:
The Hon. Annunziata Rees-Mogg
Deputy Chairman Membership:
Cllr Paul Hibbert-Greaves
