PRINT: Agenda printing and posting is done via a third party supplier, called Doxzoo.
Option 1: You can order a printed version (black and white, wire bound) to be posted to your home address using this link. Cost for one copy is £11.01 plus delivery. The print cost reduces to £8.04 if you order 2 copies or more. You can collect from their London office for free.
Option 2: Printed versions of the agenda will be available at the venue at £5 per copy. If you have pre-ordered an agenda, this will be in your folder.
How we make policy at Conference
In the Green Party, policy creation and amendment is a member-led process as are decisions about how we organise ourselves. This is done by putting forward motions to Conference for debate and to be voted on. The ‘Agenda Forum’ is where members can propose and discuss ideas for motions for the Conference Agenda. You will find the Agenda Forum in the Green Spaces area of the members’ website.
There is additional help and some other requirements on how to write motions in the Standing Orders for the Conduct of Conference. Please speak to a member of Policy Development Committee if you are unsure about what to do (policy@greenparty.org.uk).
