Our Climate Declaration 
needs a new convenor 
Can you help?

We are now in our seventh year. Our convenor Pat Baskett has guided us through three of these years but her circumstances have changed and she is no longer able to continue in this role.

Our key activity, the webinar programme, sits inside the structure of our organization for which the role of convenor is essential. Here’s the job description:

The convenor maintains communication, coordinates the different strands of information that come through and responds to general enquiries.

They ensure the core team of eight meets fortnightly. Agendas typically consist of discussion on potential webinar topics, support for specific campaigns and engagement in writing submissions and critiquing government policies.

The convenor has the willing and efficient assistance of the treasurer (Paul Bruce), our minute-taker (Torfrida Wainwright) and our wonderful website manager Gareth Jones.

The demands of time vary according to webinar requirements and the enquiries that come in.

For a better picture of what’s involved and a description of the rewards that the work brings please contact Pat Baskett on our info-line – [email protected].

We look forward to meeting candidates at our

AGM on Friday May 24 at 4pm.
