Dear Colleague,

Regional Party Awards 2023

I am writing to invite nominations from your Local Party to two sets of Awards to be presented at the Autumn 2023 North West Conference, to be held in Stockport on October 21st.

The first is the President’s Regional Honours. Running since 1988, those honoured are given a certificate by the Regional Party President and their names have been inscribed in a leather-bound book.  When considering whether someone in your area should be put forward please bear in mind the following:

Objective – recognition of long service to the Liberal / SDP / Liberal Democrat parties in a non-publicly elected role.  This award is principally to recognise the “back room” people in the party.  Diversity note: they don’t have to be men! (Nominations tend to skew strongly that way).  Qualification – generally the minimum membership should be 10 years.

Second and only introduced two years ago is the Tony Greaves Award, which is to recognise a truly community-based campaign – which could be large or very local. 

Nominations for either award should be made by either a local party executive or by 5 party members (in either case with supporting reasons). 

Since the pandemic, the region has moved to nominations being sent in by email (copy in your fellow local party officer or the co-signatories to a five member nomination) rather than by post.

Yours truly,

Jane Brophy 
President
North West Liberal Democrats
