Equal Opportunities

CWU Womens' Conference 2008

The CWU Womens' Conference will take place at the Holiday Inn Hotel, Belfast on Saturday 23 February 2008.

Delegates

Our Branch is entitled to send two delegates to the Conference. Visitors are also welcome to attend however, they must register in advance and admission is then by production of their membership card on the day.

Motions

Our Branch is entitled to submit one motion for consideration to be included on the agenda of the Conference. As with previous Equality Conferences the agenda will be structured to maximise debate and participation by delegates.

The CWU Womens’ Conference has the entitlement under the rules of the union to submit two motions to stand in the name of the conference to General Conference. It is therefore important that if branches wish their motions to be in this category, they must contain policy that is capable of being discharged by the NEC, as opposed to either of the Industrial Executives. The two motions for submission to the General Conference agenda will be decided from amongst those motions adopted at the Conference.

Crèche Facilities

Crèche facilities will be available dependent on the number of children booked. Delegates must request this facility when booking their place, but no later than 25 January 2008.

Social Event

All those attending the Conference are invited to a social event that will be held at the Holiday Inn Hotel on Friday 22 February 2008

If any member is interested in attending or submitting a motion please contact the Branch Office no later than 25 January 2008.
