Alongside Liberal Democrat HQ and ALDC, the East of England Liberal Democrats provide numerous training and development events for members. This includes training and workshops at our annual conference.
Development Days
Local party teams get together with party staff and other campaigners to plan the growth and development of the Liberal Democrats in their area.
The current round of development days includes sessions on aims, ambitions and numbers; message; building the team; and the campaign plan.
Future development days:
- Saturday 22 January, Histon Baptist Church, Cambridge
- Saturday 5 February, Parish Centre, Church of the Holy Spirit, Chelmsford
| Sign up for a development day |
This programme was also delivered in Bedfordshire in October 2021 and Norwich in January 2022.
