The London West NDP Riding Associations (Federal and Provincial) is made up of NDP members who live within the riding or who have transferred their membership to London West. Its purpose is to organize for electoral, political and educational purposes and to nominate candidates for electoral office. The executive of the riding association engages in a wide range of activities including fundraising, voter contact and outreach, candidate search, and election preparation. The executive generally meets monthly, and although non-members of the executive are unable to vote at meetings, any member of the NDP in London West in good standing is welcome to attend and contribute to our discussions.
Meetings
Each year, at the riding association’s annual general meeting, members have an opportunity to review the previous year’s work, strategize for the year to follow, and run for executive positions. The riding associations executives meet monthly throughout the year. All members in good standing are invited to executive meetings; contact us for the date and location of the next executive meeting.
Committees and Events
Members of the executive help coordinate the riding association’s outreach, youth, communications and policy committees. Through these committees, the riding association stays involved in the London West community through a variety of events and activities.
