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 More info at:  http://pacificaidsnetwork.org/conferencestrainings/pldi/    From: viva-bounces at lists.resist.ca [mailto:viva-bounces at lists.resist.ca] On Behalf Of Denise Becker

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.Kath From: viva-bounces at lists.resist.ca [mailto:viva-bounces at lists.resist.ca] On Behalf Of Denise Becker

Subject: [Viva] replies re. running for the Board of Positive Living BC 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! Denise a)  considering runningb)  too busyc)  too far awayd)  too time consuminge)  not enough women on the Board f)  feel a little intimidatedg)  just no interesth)  don't know enoughi)  children and no day carej)  don't want to leave a peth)  don't want to work with gay meni)  don't want to work with menj)  don't want to leave my familyk) not out and don't want questionsl)  don't feel well enoughm) unsure what is involvedn) working Other __________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks everyone and if you want to reply directly to me, without anyone else seeing, please do so.
