Eligible constituents are WEA Branches, Regions, Elected National Officers, the National Executive Committee and WEA Affiliates.

This year's Conference will mark an important event for the Association as following an Association-wide consultation earlier this year, it is hoped that conference will approve the National Executive Committee's recommendations for incorporation to strengthen the legal structure of the Association and put the WEA on a par with other major charities.
