Following the closing of polls in the 2023 European Movement elections, we are pleased to announce that Mike Galsworthy has been re-elected as Chair of the European Movement for a further two years, having been initially elected during an interim election earlier this year.

We are also pleased to announce that Molly Scott Cato and Richard Wilson have been re-elected as Vice Chairs of the European Movement, with Molly Scott Cato taking the role of Senior Vice Chair following a vote of the European Movement's membership.

The election also saw the following people take up named roles either on the European Movement's Executive Committee or on the National Council:

  • Sandra Lawman - Secretary (Executive Committee)
  • David Edwards - Treasurer (Executive Committee)
  • Yvonne Wancke - Chair of the Branches Forum (Executive Committee)
  • Jackie Jones - Diversity Officer (Executive Committee)
