National Committee

The current national committee was elected at NCAFC’s national conference on January 28th and 29th 2012. It has responsibility for what NCAFC does in between conferences. The Campaign also has a Communications and Inclusiveness Working Group, with responsibility for scrutinising the national committee and making NCAFC as inclusive and effective as possible.

The committee comprises:

  • 14 members elected by single-transferable vote at national conference, of which at least 40% must be self-defining females.
  • 1 delegate from each regional conference (as defined by regions), whose vote can be shared between multiple reps
  • 1 delegate from each liberation campaign (LGBTQ, Women, Disabled and BME), whose vote can be shared between multiple reps

Meetings of the NC are open to anti-cuts activists but only members of the NC have voting rights. National Conferences are open to all and everyone has equal voting rights.
