Agm Process

This Annual Conference recognises that the NWC has the responsibility within the FBU of dealing with issues that ‘primarily concern women’. Women recognise that the issue contained within this Resolution may affect the other sections but it is being persistently raised by women through their structures at brigade, regional and national level. This Annual Conference acknowledges that changes were made at Annual Conference 2002 which enabled the National Women’s Committee to submit 3 Resolutions to Annual Conference, however, currently the National Women’s Committee cannot amend their own Conference Resolutions, cannot amend any other Conference Resolutions or policy statements, cannot submit Emergency Resolutions, cannot submit rule changes or proposed amendments to Annual Conference Standing Orders. This Annual Conference calls upon the Executive Council to formulate the relevant changes to the processes required to address this issue and for this to be reported back to the Women’s AGM 2007 and will include the required rule changes which shall be submitted by the Executive Council to Annual Conference 2008.
