[Viva] Fwd: Legal Network: Board of Directors nominations / Réseau juridique : Bulletin de candidature au conseil d'administration

[Peggy Frank]

Denise I would love to nominate you or sit on the Board or have another woman from BC on the Board.  I think your voice - our voice - is always important. screening of the film 'positive women exposing injustice' (recently in Victoria and Vancouver) was an amazing example of the work of this group. I am sure you had a lot to do with that through western Board representation.  WE only exist if we are there.  Love your vitality.  -peg

I am not sure if anyone is running from Positive Living Society of BC... I might try but if anyone else wants to take it then that would be good too... maybe someone from one of the areas mentioned.  It is not a Board with all HIV+ people, mostly legal or human rights people.  Please let me know if you plan on running and I will step back or if you would like to nominate me.. don't feel obligated at all.
