Amnesty International Australia's National Extraordinary General Meeting (NEGM) will be held between Friday 27 November and Sunday 29 November 2009 in Sydney. The NEGM is an ideal opportunity to share information about current human rights issues and explore ways to address them as effectively as we can.

The NEGM will include our traditional human rights conference components such as

• workshops
• plenary sessions with external speakers as well as our own
• a public action
• governance issues such as the passing of resolutions.

A key component of the NEGM will be looking at ways Amnesty International Australia can strengthen our democratic structures, processes and culture to better achieve our vision. We want to hear your views on these topics!

Also the Youth Summit will be folded into the NEGM. If you are between 18 and 24, this will be a great opportunity to meet fellow youth members. The Youth Summit will be on Friday 27 November, 10am - 1pm. For more information and to register for the Youth Summit, please contact Anne Montague, National Youth Coordinator.
