Executive Committee

Executive Committee Members

The Association's Executive Committee meets every two months.

All-Member Meetings are held three times a year.

Members of the Executive are self-nominated and elected by postal ballot held as soon as possible after a General Election on a first past the post system, serving for the length of the Parliament. The 7 candidates with the most votes are elected. Further names from the list are then co-opted, and co-options can be made with the aim of providing as balanced a committee as possible between:


- Retired/defeated MPs
- Gender
- Party
- Region
- Specialist Experience
