Federal Board seeks volunteers for 26 vital roles

By The Voice | Thu 22nd January 2026 - 7:30 am

It’s that time, at the start of every Federal Committee term of office, when the Federal Board seeks volunteers to fill key roles in the party, ranging from members of the Finance and Audit Committees, to the person who chairs the Committee that selects our election strategy, to working on membership, training and diversity.

In the olden days, these roles were advertised in a manner akin to Arthur Dent’s experience in Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:

Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”

When I was on Federal Board I made sure that these roles were advertised to a wider audience on here and today, new President Josh Babarinde has emailed party members with details.

This is your chance to directly influence the Party’s direction in a volunteer committee role.

Following the election of our new Federal Board, we’re seeking dedicated members to fill 26 vital positions that will shape our strategy, values, and effectiveness as an organisation.

These aren’t just administrative roles – you’ll be working alongside passionate party members to ensure the Liberal Democrats remain an effective, supportive, and inclusive force for change.
