To continue our recent growth, we are looking to expand our network of CPF Regional Ambassadors as part of our volunteer team. Our regional ambassadors work with the CPF team and with Political Deputy Chairs to help Associations and Federations in their region or devolved nation to recruit and support a network of CPF Group Coordinators and active CPF Groups, ensuring that CPF reports reflect the views of members from right across the UK.
If this sounds like an opportunity that you (or someone you know) might like to take up, then read on and send your CV and a cover-letter to cpf@conservatives.com! (please add the region you wish to apply for)
The areas currently available:
The North West
Eastern
