Writing groups election manifesto municipal elections Nov 2018 municipality of Groningen

The GroenLinks Groningen branch is currently writing the election programme for the municipal elections in November. To arrive at a widely supported programme, the programme committee has identified a number of areas of expertise. Interested DWARS members who are also members of this GroenLinks section may of course provide input and think about/write the draft programme during a public meeting. For each area of expertise, the committee has named a group of core members; below is the coordinator for some of the groups.
