What are National Working Group Teams?
The key areas of the Party’s day-to-day work are led by National Managers. However, our National Managers need a team of dedicated volunteers working with them to strengthen the Party’s operations in these key areas. These volunteers form our National Working Group Teams, and they are key to our daily operations running smoothly.
As a volunteer on a National Working Group Team, you will bring your skills and experience to a small, collaborative team dedicated to strengthening a particular area of the Party.
