Those of you who are Lib Dems might have noticed that it's internal elections season again.
I'm standing for election to Federal Conference Committee and Federal Council.
Here is my manifesto for Federal Conference Committee. I would appreciate your first votes in what is a very crowded field.

Why me?
I have been a member of Federal Conference Committee since 2023. I am also a Vice Convener of the Scottish Lib Dems Conference Committee. I am experienced in chairing debates, scrutinising policy and helping to make our party conferences run smoothly.
My Priorities for Federal Conference Committee:
• Accessibility - We need to do better to make our conferences affordable for members, including options for making online participation more interactive and attractive.
• Member-Led Policy - I will continue to fight to put members’ motions forward onto the agenda, and provide more training and support for members to draft good quality policies for submission.
• Accountability - Our motion selection process should remain transparent, with clear feedback given on why selection decisions have been made.
• Working Hard - I am a very proactive member of FCC, taking on whatever tasks need doing over the conference weekend. I have always been happy to take on the less glamorous tasks to help out our hardworking stewards and staff.

My Record of Action:
Since joining FCC in 2023 as Scottish Representative, I have:
• Spoken up during agenda setting meetings to promote member submitted policies and challenge the increasing prevalence of MP submitted motions being taken to conference.
• Provided drafting advice to several members to help with their policy proposals, both formally as part of the FCC drafting advice service and informally when approached directly.
• Attended every Federal Conference during my tenure on FCC, chairing and aiding debates, staffing the FCC help desk, assisting the stewards, exhibitors and attendees, and providing key input during daily FCC meetings.
• Created and delivered an updated training session to members on how to write a conference motion, providing valuable insight into what makes a good conference motion and the common mistakes which are often made.
• Consistently stood up for the rights of the diverse membership attending our conferences, raising issues affecting accessibility and voting consistently to protect the well being of our Trans and Non-Binary members attending conference.
