The North Yorkshire Green Party Inaugural AGM

Please register for this event by providing your details in the panel.

Our New Organisational Structure For North Yorkshire

At the inaugural AGM, as a member, you will be asked to approve the adoption of the constitution for the new organisational structure for the Green Party in North Yorkshire. The proposed structure consists of a new North Yorkshire Green Party (NYGP). This 'Local Party' will be the umbrella organisation covering the full area of North Yorkshire Council. It will contain branches for each of the seven constituencies, most of which will be successor organisations of existing party structures.

On adoption of the new constitution, Local Parties currently covering various parts of North Yorkshire will convert into branches of the North Yorkshire Green Party, retaining their existing funds and continuing to organise campaign activity within their own areas.  

Green Party members resident in North Yorkshire will automatically be members of NYGP and of their constituency branch and have voting rights at each.

Eligibility to attend and vote at the AGM

The AGM is for members only. All Green Party members resident in North Yorkshire may attend and vote.

AGM Agenda

• Opening address by Arnold Warneken, Interim Chair of NYGP
• Appointment of a Returning Officer for the officer elections to be held at the AGM
• Adoption of the constitution

Green Councillor Question Time
