History

The Association was established in 1996, it is cross party and it represents a significant and growing proportion of ethnic minority Councillors across the country. The motivation behind establishing the Association was to build a network to support ethnic minority Councillors, highlight the political under-representation of our communities and also help progress race equality in local government. These core aims continue to underpin the Association's activities and we are determined to unite BME Councillors around these important issues.
