Annual Conference 2019
All the news from the first NEU Annual Conference, held in Liverpool
Conference will start promptly on Monday 6 April, so it is assumed most delegates will travel to Bournemouth on Sunday 5 April.
Conference Amendments
The Prioritised Motions Booklet for Annual Conference has been circulated to all delegates. It contains motions prioritised by Districts which will appear in the Conference Agenda.
The Executive Report 2019, Union Accounts 2019, and Report of Conference 2019 have also been circulated. Also available is the full Priority Voting Results.
Amendments which have been approved by a quorate meeting of the District may now be submitted using the relevant form: Form C.06 for Motions, Form C.07 for Standing Orders/Report of the Executive.
Please remember the deadline for submitting amendments is Midnight, 9th March 2020.
District delegations
The deadline for registration of District delegates and observers has now passed.
Delegate credentials
All delegates and observers will need a standard, recent passport sized photo for their name badge. These must be brought to Bournemouth; there will be no NEU facilities for photographs at the venue.
The stewards will not allow anyone without a photo badge to enter the auditorium.
If a badge is lost a spare will be given, but another photo will need to be provided (you might want to bring two!).
Conference Committee Election
Nominations for the Conference Committee have now closed. Ballot papers and biographical details for candidates will be circulated to delegates on 23 March 2020. The election will take place at Conference.
