[Viva] replies re. running for the Board of Positive Living BC

[Denise Becker]

I have not received any replies regarding running for the Board of Positive
Living BC.  This interests me and I am not sure what to make of it.  Quite
often in Board meetings, I tell the Board that they need to include women
and reach out to them to run on the Board.  They have told me that they have
in the past and there is no interest.  It is hard to push for women's
retreats, women focussed articles in Positive Living magazine, and other
things when I am the only one on the Board.

So, I need to understand where you all are coming from.  I have listed below
some reasons that you might not be interested in joining the Board and would
appreciate you either just typing a reply with an a, b, or e, etc.(you can
choose more than one) or letting me know another reason.  Then I will have a
good handle on the whole issue.

Thanks!
