Party Chairman Oliver Dowden addresses Conservative Party Members

Our new Party Chairman, Oliver Dowden CBE, has written directly to Party members to talk about his plans for the time ahead and to encourage members to attend Party conference. Here's what he had to say.

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself.

I’m Oliver Dowden, the new Chairman of the Conservative Party.

It’s an honour to take on this role and continue the great work of our party.  

We’ve got a big task ahead. I’m looking forward to meeting the members and volunteers who drive our campaigns, and who help us win. 

So are you joining us at Conference, Reuben? You can still buy a ticket — or book a virtual place for free.

Thousands of members, elected representatives and the wider Conservative family will be joining us in Manchester. Others will be joining us virtually from the comfort of their own homes.

Whichever option works best for you, I hope you’ll attend.

Conference is a chance for our party to lay out our plans for the future.

You’ll get to catch up with fellow members, attend key fringe events and hear about what we’re doing to build back better and level up across the country.

I’ll be in Manchester, and I hope I’ll see you too — either in-person or online.

It’s truly an honour to be Chairman of our great party. And with the serious work ahead of us, I am looking forward to working with you as a member.
