Sarah-Jane Sewell for National Deputy Chaiman (Mem

Please find here endorsements for my candidature as National Conservative Future Deputy Chairman (Membership)

I’m delighted to personally endorse Sarah-Jane’s campaign for election as Deputy Chairman Membership on the CF National Executive. Sarah-Jane’s energy and work-rate are truly impressive, and she never ceases to bring forward a range of ideas not just to get people involved in politics, but importantly to ensure that CF members and branches are deeply involved in their local communities.

I also wholeheartedly back her pledge to provide improved training, support and opportunities for CF members to help them play a key role in elections, political campaigning and social action.

Sarah-Jane has proven her ability to deliver on as well as talk about these issues, something that is not as common as it should be in politics today!

South Holland & The Deepings Conservative Association

I think Sarah Jane would be the ideal person for the position of national Deputy Chairman (Membership) Conservative Future. She is a very hardworking person and a very dedicated conservative. Sarah is Chairman of the Conservative Future here in South Holland & the Deepings and has increased the membership tremendously since she has been in the Chair. It is fantastic considering we are a rural and geographically large constituency with no university the CF members should vote for Sarah because she cares about their views and that is mainly why the South Holland branch has been a success because everyones ideas and opinions are considered Sarah also has establishe d and maintained relationships with many other surrounding branches

Anthony Casson South Holland District Councillor

It is absolutely a great pleasure to endorse Sarah-Jane Sewell for the position of Deputy Chairman, Membership. I support Sarah-Jane for three reasons; She is passionate about politics and her work. She is honest and has shown dedication and hard work in CF. All these elements are what one needs to be a great candidate and I think our national exec needs someone like Miss Sewell.

The hard work, organisational skill and commitment demonstrated by Sarah-Jane Sewell has led to the branch she founded not only becoming one of the most active in the East Midlands, but indeed getting mentioned at conference as an example nationally. Membership is vital to our continued success as an organisation, and I know that if elected Sarah-Jane will approach this brief with the same professionalism and pride she has shown in all positions he has held within the party. I fully support Sarah-Jane for this important role.

It is with great pride and happiness that I would love to endorse Sarah-Jane Sewell for the position of Deputy Chairman (Membership) in the National Executive of Conservative Future.
Despite never having met Sarah-Jane she has proven locally that she was born to lead and represent CF into the future whilst her political beliefs and policies have been met with complete agreement in Portsmouth.
University of Portsmouth CF and City of Portsmouth CF would therefore like to endorse and support Sarah-Jane in her campaign and hope wholeheartedly that she wins the position to kick start some much needed change into the National Executive of Conservative Future.

Luke Franks

Chairman of both University of Portsmouth CF and City of Portsmouth CF

Having worked alongside Miss Sarah-jane Sewell for much of this year, it is with some considerable pleasure that I am able to commend her candidature for the position of National CF Deputy Chairman (Membership). Sarah-jane has had the remarkable achievement of establishing a branch in South Holland & the Deepings which now has the second largest membership in the Lincolnshire Area. Her efforts in the field of Social Action have led to effective action days held by her branch, and continuing encouragement for other branches in the Area to follow suit.

We have been fortunate to welcome Sarah-jane onto the Area Executive as our Secretary and Vice Chairman (Communications), and look forward to working with her as East Midlands CF Regional Vice Chairman (Social Action) from January 2012.

It is without hesitation that I am prepared to say that Sarah-jane is by far and away a sterling candidate for this position: inclusive and easy to work with; hard working and dedicated; and I am proud to support her in this valiant endeavour.

Tom Ashton

Lincolnshire CF Deputy Chairman (Membership)

It gives me great pleasure to endorse Sarah-Jane Sewell for the position of Deputy Chairman on the Conservative Future National Executive. Sarah-Jane has worked tirelessly in South Holland and the Deepings to build a branch of valuable and committed activists. I am particularly amazed by Sarah-Jane’s ability to think outside the box when organising events and her creative mind has undoubtedly been responsible for maintaining activity and membership within her branch. When combined with her friendly, approachable and down-to-earth nature I believe these skills would make Sarah-Jane a real asset to the National Executive.

Luc Chignell

Newark CF Branch Chairman, Nottinghamshire CF Area Chairman

I was absolutely delighted when Sarah-jane Sewell joined the Lincolnshire CF Area Exec this year. Long before I had met her, I had heard of her and had been incredibly impressed by her. She is absolutely inspiring, has so much enthusiasm for the Conservative Party, devotes so much time and effort to promoting the party, has so many wonderful, fresh and imaginative ideas, and therefore it is of no surprise that South Holland & the Deepings has done so well under her effective, dedicated and tireless leadership.

Anyone who meets her can’t fail to be impressed by her. Her friendliness, intelligence, charisma and devotion to the party means she stands out in any field of candidates. She is a friendly, welcoming, warm and enthusiastic person, ideal qualities for a Deputy Chair for Membership. Her organisational skills are second to none, as is her hard working attitude, and all of this coupled with the passion she has that I have outlined above means that it is with great pleasure that I endorse her for this role.

Lincolnshire is incredibly lucky to have her, just as national level would be to have her. She is a star who I’m sure will go a long way in the Conservative Party. She deserves to, and I wish her all the very best.

James Hopkins

Lincolnshire CF Vice-Chairman (Events)

I highly recommend Sarah-Jane Sewell as a candidate for the position of ‘Conservative Future National Membership Executive’ and there are countless reasons for this. Since Sarah-Jane became South Holland and the Deepings’ CF Chairman it has gone from strength to strength due to her commitment and enthusiasm; she has motivated herself not only to take an interest in the members of her branch, but members throughout Conservative Future and as a result has become a respected individual throughout our East Midlands region. Sarah-Jane evidently should be a leading candidate in the election for this National Membership position; it would be a missed opportunity for CF nationally if she was not. I believe that if Sarah-Jane became a part of the national executive, specifically the membership aspect, it would take Conservative Future to new heights furthering everyone’s interests.

Luke Freeman

East Midlands CF Vice-Chairman (Fundraising), Northamptonshire Area Chairman

Throughout this year I have worked closely with Sarah-Jane as branch chairmen and serving together on the Area Executive Committee for Lincolnshire CF. I have found her supportive, innovative and easy to approach with any problems, queries and ideas. Sarah-Jane has worked efficiently throughout her time in CF to create a vibrant and engaged branch, tripling her membership and partaking in successful social actions, events, meetings and CPF’s in her branch.
She fully supported me whilst starting my own branch in Lincoln and helped the entire Area in gaining membership and helping branches progress.

Therefore I am very happy to add my support to Sarah-Jane’s campaign to become National CF Deputy Chairman (Membership), and encourage the support of my branch members likewise. She has been a great asset for South Holland, for Lincolnshire Area, for the East Midlands Region, and I am sure she will be for National too.

Laura Goodliffe

Lincolnshire CF Vice-Chairman (Universities), Lincoln CF Branch Chairman

I am supporting Sarah-Jane’s campaign as I believe she has the abilities to take CF to the next level. I believe she has the qualities to transform CF. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her and she is a delight to work with. Sarah-Jane is an honest, very approachable person and very likeable and this only helps the team dynamic which CF promotes. Her hard working attitude, dedication and ambition are key qualities, and I cannot think of a more suitable candidate to attract new members, but more importantly, involve members on a local and national scale. Her record with South Holland and The Deepings have impressed many, with social action, policy forums and highly successful events can be highlighted as some of the branches main achievements. Voting for Sarah-Jane will not only ensure the high quality delivered by the national executive, but ensure that every member in the country is represented fairly and equally

Joe Hearn, East Midlands Deputy Chairman (2012)

The Lincolnshire Conservative Future team is proud to support our esteemed Area Secretary and Vice Chairman (Communications), Miss Sarah-Jane Sewell in her election for National CF Deputy Chairman (Membership).

We have all known and worked with Sarah-Jane for much of her career in Conservative Future. We have seen first hand her hard work and dedication establishing her Branch in South Holland & the Deepings, and her determination in furthering the causes and campaigns of her Branch and the Lincolnshire Area.

It is an honour on the part of us all to commend Sarah-Jane as an outstanding candidate for this position. We are in no doubt that National CF would benefit tremendously from her diligence, drive, and organisation as we have done to a great extent here in Lincolnshire.

Lincolnshire Conservative Future Executive Team.

I am writing to recommend Sarah-jane Sewell's standing for the deputy chairman as her experience demonstrates thus far that she is energetic, passionate about politics, and eager to advance the cause of Conservativism and help young people in particular to connect with our party and its values.

She has set up her own Conservative Association in the East Midlands, the South Holland and the Deepings Conservative Association, which despite its recent creation in April 2011, is already making inroads in the area and gaining new members every week.

From this, I feel that if she were to be selected as deputy chairman, the passion and commitment already shown can be put to even greater use on a national level. With her enthusiasm, positive outlook and charm she can help Conservative Future to expand its reach on a national level.

The votes of young people count, and with someone like Sarah, we can turn them from the sugar laced promises of Labour and help them to see the sense in our no-nonsense, commonsense approach. The votes of young people can help us to achieve a majority in the next general election. With Sarah's qualities, she can play an important role in pulling this off.

David Meiklem, Linlithgow and East Falkirk Conservative Association, Scotland Conservative Future

Sarah-Jane is an excellent Secretary to the Area CF. The amount of energy and time she puts into her work at all times is outstanding. As well as fulfulling her main duties, she has also set up and is the editor of the area newsletter and has also organised several events for the Area.
