Our guest speaker this year is Frances Lasok, newly elected Conservative Policy Forum Director for the Voluntary Party. Frances joined the Conservative Party in 2015 and two weeks later was given sole charge of a marginal seat campaign for the General Election. With no background in politics, within a year she’d turned the team around to deliver the biggest swing win in England. Over the next four years, she delivered election wins against the national trend during some of the most volatile years in recent politics, including for the then-Chancellor. With a professional background in tech and policy, she holds two degrees from the University of Warwick, in 2023 led an academic study into Conservative membership, and is an OSCE international election observer.
In March 2025 she was elected Voluntary Director of the Conservative Policy Forum, the policy voice of party membership
