For me, it would be distance, not sure what is required and not sure if I know enough.

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.

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.

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.
