If you are considering coming to Andorra to participate at our General Meeting as well as at the Liberal International 70th Anniversary Congress you should inscribe for the Congress before 4 may it says on the inscription site! If you would like to participate as a delegate of INLW please let me know as soon as possible as there is a limit to the amount of delegates allowed per LI member (INLW can have 10 delegates).
For more information on the Congress please look at the LI website, www.liberal-international.org.
As far as our General Meeting is concerned:
Ruth Richardson from the Netherlands Antilles Aruba, who lives and works in the Netherlands for the Waterboard Rijnland has expressed her interest and willingness to become member of the INLW Board as Member with the specific task of stimulating the Discussion within INLW and Following the UN agenda for INLW Board and members. At the moment we are concentrating on the UN Commission on Women and to a certain degree on the Human Rights Commission in Geneva. But there are other subjects to study and follow at the UN. For instance on the subject of Environment and Sustainability and the SDG’s which are subjects that influence the lives of women and girls enormously. She is also willing to participate at some of the Conferences as a delegate for INLW. So I am very pleased to welcome Ruth in our Board to strengthen our work. She already helped this time by suggesting the two INLW resolutions and making the basic resolutions.
Patricia Olamendi and Leticia Gutíerrez both from Mexico, whose CV’s and photos are to be found in the attachments were co opted (asked to join the Board) at the last Liberal International Congress just after we held our INLW General Meeting. We only met each other then, which was too late to nominate them to be appointed in Mexico. Since they have joined, Patricia as Vice President for Latin America and Leticia as Member for expecially Mexico, have been actively participating in INLW. They were both in Barcelona when we held a Board Meeting to start up the new 3 year period of the Board and they were both at CSW last year and this year Leticia was also at CSW. Leticia and Patricia have been active with the “Consensus of Mexico”, a written Statement on the status of women’s rights and what is needed, which they made. They have collected thousands of signatures on the document from women in the area. At our General Meeting they will be officially appointed as members of the INLW Board.
These are the expected mutations to the Board.
Members can nominate a person for the other vacancies on the Board: Deputy Assistant, Vice General Secretary, Vice Treasurer, which have been vacant for some time. At the moment we think we have enough Board Members, but if an occasion occurs that we find someone from a country or an area which is not so well represented within INLW, that might be a good occasion to fill a vacancy. If a member wants to nominate someone; then please send us the name, a short Bio. with a recent photo and a recommendation from the party or organization as well as a motivation by the person before May 7th.
After our General Meeting which will be held from 9-10.15am, we will be holding an OPEN EVENT for all interested people from 10.30 till 12 o’clock. We hope to welcome some local Liberal Women from Andorra at this event.
