Newport community councillor, and Chair of the Isle of Wight Green Party, Vix Lowthion, has secured her third election to the Green Party National Executive.
The experienced politician previously served two terms as Policy Development Coordinator.
New role brings expanded responsibilities
Vix will now take on the position of Internal Communications Coordinator, a role she will hold until 2027.
Her new responsibilities encompass party membership, websites, campaigns and all internal communications for the National Party.
Green Party celebrates record membership
The election coincides with significant developments for the Green Party this week.
The party has elected Zack Polanski as its dynamic new leader, and membership has reached a record high of 70,000 people.
Determination to serve
Vix stated,
“I am delighted to be elected back onto the National Executive in an exciting new position.
“The Green Party has always been a welcoming place and offered me so many opportunities in the last decade – both at a National level and here on the Isle of Wight.
“I am determined to return everyone’s confidence in me and work hard to support all our MPs, councillors and members to be equipped to make a real difference in our communities.”
Autumn Conference brings Island connection
The Green Party will hold its autumn conference in Bournemouth next month, running from 3rd to 5th October. The choice of venue brings the National gathering closer to the Island.
Vix will participate in her additional National role as Lifelong Learning spokesperson, a position she has held since 2016.
She will feature at a fringe event titled “Building a fairer future: the state of education today”.
