The Agents Association
Action
The role of the Agents Association is to give support and advice to activist campaigners. Running up to and through the General Election, the Agents Association ran training workshops across the country, printed and distributed over 1200 copies of the Agents Manual, produced weekly Agents Update briefings and dealt with over 800 messages to the Agents Hotline.
Returns, the Association's newsletter, contains news and information on Agents Association training. Our training at conferences and other Party events continues to be popular with both experienced and new agents.
The Agent's Handbook, the indispensible guide to running a legal and successful election campaign, has been updated to include the very latest changes to election law. The updated handbook can be downloaded by registered members from this web site.

Access
Members of the Agent's Association have year round access to information and advice.
Training sessions held over at national and regional conferences have enabled Agents from across the UK to meet and talk with experienced agents with their finger on the pulse of an ever changing set of election laws.
The Association's team are available in the exhibition hall at every Federal Conference for queries about the organisation's projects and membership.

Prior to the election, there was a series of training sessions aimed at General Election Agents, ensuring that Liberal Democrat Agents are the most informed and up to date campaigners in the country.
