The Executive Committee of the Young Greens - Óige Ghlas has called an EGM to take place on Saturday 24th April from 4pm - 6pm. The purpose of this EGM will be to fill a number of vacant positions on the committee which have become available due to resignations in the past few months.

More importantly, this may be an important turning point for the Young Greens and the young green movement here in Ireland. We understand that it has been a challenging few months for many members, with many people leaving the Young Greens and the Green Party. If you are still a member of the Green Party, the Young Greens or just identify as "green", we welcome you to attend the EGM.

The Young Greens have never been in a better situation to affect real change, however the Young Greens will need to exist in the next year and onwards. We need new people to get involved and to run for positions, and to bring some new energy to the Executive Committee. If you think you can be a part of this, we highly encourage you to attend.

We will also host a panel on the "Future of Young Activists in the Green Movement" (speakers tbc) and aim to do some icebreakers and networking throughout the event.

Open position on the Committee include the following;

• Chairperson*

• Branch Coordinator

• Membership & Events Officer

• Policy Coordinator

• Regional representatives

  • Connacht

  • Ulster

• Ordinary Committee Members

*Candidates for chairperson must have prior experience on the committee of a Young Greens member group or the National Committee of the Young Greens.

All roles are further explained in the Young Greens Constitution, attached here.

The Returning Officer will be announced shortly. Candidates may make themselves know to the Returning Officer, or run on the day. In the event that a position on the committee becomes available due to election of that Officer to another role, then that position will also be open for election on the day of the EGM too.
