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!

Denise

a)  considering running
b)  too busy
c)  too far away
d)  too time consuming
e)  not enough women on the Board
 f)  feel a little intimidated
g)  just no interest
h)  don't know enough
i)  children and no day care
j)  don't want to leave a pet
h)  don't want to work with gay men
i)  don't want to work with men
j)  don't want to leave my family
k) not out and don't want questions
l)  don't feel well enough
m) unsure what is involved
n) working
