Action Points
  • Report back
    Ensure the results of rule changes, policy debates and other decisions are included in reports back to your party members.
  • Begin implementing new rules
    The rule changes agreed upon will be incorporated into an updated rule book which will be circulated soon. In the meantime, do take a moment to think about how the changes may affect your local party and how individual officers (such as Secretary) carry out their work.
