The West Midlands Conservative Women’s Organisation has announced the election of its new Area Co-Chair, Solihull Councillor Samantha Gethen.
Cllr Gethen will be responsible for encouraging Women to stand for elected office and to develop policies to support women in the region.
She currently works as the Office Manager for a local MP, and has served on Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council as a representative for the St Alphege ward since her election in 2022.

Cllr Samantha Gethen Said:
“With my election as CWO Area Chair, I will continue to support women across the West Midlands by encouraging and supporting them to stand for public office and make their voices heard.”
