Dear Members,
The Annual Delegates Conference (ADC) of the NCOA allows for Reps on behalf of their members to come together to debate and set the negotiating priorities for your National Executive Committee for the forthcoming year. This year’s Annual Delegates Conference will be held on Tuesday 12th October 2021 and Wednesday 13th October 2021.
It is important that all Members have the opportunity to help set the NCOA’s priorities and influence how their workplace Reps represents their views. Workplace Reps have been asked to hold meetings between now and the 24th August 2021. We of course recognise that, owing to COVID-19 pandemic and the importance of continuing to maintain social distancing, these meetings are likely to be conducted remotely or by e-mail. By engaging with your Workplace Representatives, members will be able to ensure that relevant and timely motions can be put forward for debate at this year’s ADC.
The Standing Orders Committee of the ADC, will ensure that the Motions Book for 2021 is published prior to the ADC at www.ncoa.org.uk. NCOA members will be able see what will be debated and engage with their own Workplace Reps accordingly.
Reps will have the opportunity to raise any urgent matters that arise after the 24th August 2021, by submission of Emergency Motions.
I encourage all NCOA members to engage with their NCOA Workplace Representatives. A list of NCOA Reps can be found on the NCOA page on the NCA intranet and in the latest edition of Under Cover.
Kind regards,
Steve BOND
National Officer
