2024 Special General Meeting
Meeting on Co-Leadership
In preparation for the SGM on November 16-17, the Oversight Committee has organized a series of Member Engagement Sessions.
The first two were held in spring of 2024 and consisted of meetings with Caroline Lucas, (former Leader and Co-Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales), and Lorna Slater (Co-Leader of the Scottish Greens). These sessions allowed us to learn about the experiences of Co-leadership in Green Parties in other regions of the world.
