Federal Board (Liberal Democrats)

Summary

The Federal Board is the governing body of the Liberal Democrats. It is chaired by the party president, currently Mark Pack, and includes members of the party-at-large elected every three years in an all-member ballot, as well as representatives from the state parties, MPs, peers, MEPs, and councillors.[1] Until 2017 it was known as the Federal Executive. From November 2022, it will be re-constituted, with a Federal Council added to provide scrutiny to a smaller sized board.
