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

[Kath Webster]

Thanks for the question Denise.

 

PAN's  Positive Leadership Development Institute  has three trainings:

 

Core Training or "Who am I as a Leader"  (formerly level 1)

Communications  (formerly level 2)

Board Governance  (formerly level 3).

 

Core Training is a pre requisite for the other two but they can be taken in
any order. This is the first Board Governance training. All trainings are
developed and facilitated by and for HIV positive people J

Kath, I thought this was stage 2 of PAN training, is it Stage one?

Hi Denise and others,

 

My answer is:  B, too busy right now.  Plus, board work is  not the type of
work I want to focus on right now.  

 

However, this weekend I am involved in co-facilitating the PAN training
"Bored? Get on Board!"  It is an introductory training for people with HIV
to develop skills and knowledge to be on a board of directors (any board
they choose of course).  Out of 18 participants we have 8 women attending
this weekend!  I will be sure to put the word out that you are actively
recruiting (and may I say 'mentoring'?) women to be on Positive living BC's
board.

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!
