Party Council is the governing body of Alliance. It meets 4 times a year and decides Party policies, elects the Party Leader, Party Chair, Party Executive, as well as the Party President and Vice Presidents. Every member is assigned to one of the Party's 18 Associations, which are organised along Westminster constituencies. All Associations have an Executive Committee and send 10 delegates to Party Council. Young Alliance is open to any Party member aged 30 or younger, and sends 10 delegates to Party Council. The Alliance Women's Network organise meetings and events to develop and promote the roles and perspectives of women within the party, and in society as a whole. The associations select candidates for elections to District Councils, Westminster, and the Northern Ireland Assembly. Elected representatives are members of Party Council by right. The Party Leader appoints the Deputy Leader and Chief Whip. The Party Chair is responsible for chairing Party Council and Party Executive meetings. The Party Executive conducts the day-to-day business of the Party, subject to the direction and control of Party Council. It includes Party Officers and 12 other members. The Party President chairs the Party Conference, which is held annually and is open to any Party member.
