Hats off to Will Bakker, the EMEA team, and Madrid hosts, and also to the 100 plus leaders who met in Madrid this weekend for this year’s EMEA regional meeting. Highlights included GOTV and other trainings, a motivating speech by Howard Dean, and workshops and presentations by several of our global caucuses.

Have you scheduled your annual general meeting yet? AGMs are also part of each country committee’s compliance requirements and are great ways to motivate your members, let them know what you achieved last year, and what you are working on this year. Checkthe wiki for basics on holding an AGM.
