The CPF provides one of the most important links between the voluntary party and the party leadership. It is through the CPF that our party members can express their views and influence the direction of Conservative Party Policy. As we look forward to another five years of Conservative Government, the CPF ultimately provides our members with an opportunity to influence the direction our country takes into the future.
I am standing for election for the National Director of the Conservative Policy forum because I believe that the CPF needs to grow as a movement within the Party. I am passionate about conservative politics and want to make sure that our members feel that their views are being heard at the highest level of Government. Our party members deserve to feel a sense of ownership of the movement that they have created through knocking on doors and delivering leaflets— wind, rain or snow.
I want the CPF to grow both in numbers and in influence. I believe that I have the leadership skills and the policy background to increase participation within the forum and to make the CPF a more credible voice within the Conservative Party. As a former parliamentary candidate, I know how to build a strong, competent team and how to recruit a broad and diverse activist base. As the director of a National Policy think tank, and having years of policy experience at local and national level, I can make sure that the views of the Policy Forum are well presented and taken seriously by the party leadership.
If you vote for me I will:
Organise more Regional & Country-wide CPF meetings
Bring the CPF to Universities to attract more student members
Bring relevant policy experts to each meeting
Provide a regular CPF Newsletter
Work with associations to strengthen CPF participation locally
Endorsement from Emma Pidding CBE
"I unequivocally endorse Hannah’s candidature for National Voluntary Director of the Conservative Policy Forum.
Hannah's enthusiasm for the Party and for Conservative Politics is infectious. I saw first hand her ability to build up a dedicated team of activists in Harrow West - recruiting a new and diverse group of people dedicated to promoting the conservative cause. She will bring this talent to grow CPF.
Hannah has her finger on the pulse of the membership of our Party. I know that she has the leadership abilities and policy experience to make sure that the CPF becomes an ever stronger movement within our Party. Hannah understands that our members require genuine discussion & debate on policy issues."
