Who's In the Room: Key People and Roles

On the first day of assembly meetings, commissioners elect a Moderator or Co-Moderators to preside over the assembly. Those elected are empowered to preserve order and conduct the business of the assembly.

In the months prior to the assembly, commissioners announce their intention to stand for Co/Moderator. Information about these candidates will be distributed to commissioners and advisory delegates, culminating in the Moderator’s Election during which candidates are able to speak and answer questions. Co/Moderators are then equipped and trained prior to leading the next plenary session.
