What is the role?

The role is as follows…

“The mission of the European Movement is to campaign step by step towards rejoining the EU. We’re looking for a dynamic and committed person to lead our organisation –the largest cross-party, pro-European membership organisation in the UK, with 200,000 supporters, over 100 branches, and more than 16,000 members.

“The successful candidate, to be chosen by the EMUK membership in a secret ballot, will be expected to front our step-by-step campaign towards rejoining the EU and help grow our membership and reach in a watershed period for UK relations with Europe.

“They will take on both a public-facing role representing the EM effectively in the media and on platforms and taking responsibility for the Movement’s internal governance and strategy.  EM is committed to equality and would welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds.”

What will he do?

On that matter he tweeted: “If elected chair of European Movement, I will seek to massively expand our branch network and to establish an EM parliamentary network and an EM business forum – – so as to strengthen EM at grassroots, business community, and parliamentary levels.”
