Regional Hustings for National Board Directors

Timothy writes: Being a complicated Co-operative, the Co-operative Group has tiered democracy. Every member elects area committee representatives. Area Committees elect regional boards. Area Committees elect regional board members to the national board. The national board then has two parts, the first from the above mechanism and the second from independent co-operative societies who are 'corporate' members of the Co-operative Group (from its days as the Wholesale Society).

So on Saturday almost all area committee members from across the South East came together to hear each of the candidates put their case forward for why they should be elected to the National board on behalf of the South East membership.

This morning I completed my voting paper and posted it off to the Electoral Reform Society LTD to count the votes up.

Results will be posted as soon as known.
