LIB DEMS OVERSEAS 2020 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

CHAIR’S REPORT (Abridged Version)

I want to pay tribute to the great efforts made by our activist base. Without you all, nothing would be achieved. And we want more of you present today to join us.

COVID-19 and subsequent lockdowns around the world have meant that Lib Dem Overseas activists found themselves with more time to advance our goals.

We have two new LibDemVoice articles published by our North America team.

Sensational intervention by “Christopher” at #LDConf "Many people around the world speak up for #HongKong. If you are one of them, I thank you. It is important friends who believe in liberal and democratic values stand with us".

The Lib Dems Autumn Conference is going virtual!

We’re excited to launch a series of regional Virtual Pub Chat across the world for Lib Dems Overseas members. The virtual pub chat is an open ended, free-flowing forum for members to discuss politics and current affairs. Since its inception in North America earlier in 2020, it has gone from strength-to-strength with members from across the US, Canada and the Caribbean participating on a monthly basis making it a can’t miss fixture on the North America branch calendar.

Yesterday we had our hustings for Lib Dems Abroad (France, Europe and Overseas branches).

The recording can be viewed below.

Lib Dems Overseas have submitted the document (link below) to the APPG on Frozen Pensions.

Below is the link to submit questions for the ‘Lib Dems Abroad Hustings', taking place at 2pm UK time on 16th Aug.

An All-Party Parliamentary Group for the British Frozen Pensions issue is conducting an enquiry and inviting submissions by 3rd August 2020.
