***FINAL CALL FOR ICWNA BOARD NOMINATION SUBMISSIONS***
Hello all,

*ICWNA's call for new members of our Board of Directors, extended to
accommodate holidays, is about to close. The final date for self-nomination
submissions is November 1, 2015. Board of Directors election to follow.
Please review the following; we look forward to hear from you!:*



In November 2014,  International Community of Women Living with HIV, North
America (ICWNA) established an interim transitional  Board of Directors.
ICW NA is calling for nominations, from October 11, 2015 through November
1, 2015, including self-nominations, for members of the Board of Directors
for a  two year term (2015  - 2017). We ask all ICWNA members, and those
interested in becoming members to please consider this opportunity.


Volunteering as a Board Member for ICWNA will give you the opportunity to
address the issues of women living with HIV (WLHIV) in North America
(specifically, the United States and Canada) through a regional and global
perspective.


Board Members are actively engaged in the governance of the network.  The
Board have various committees and elected members are expected to
participate on at least one committee. In addition, ICW NA welcomes Board
members with expertise in fundraising, grant writing, social media, public
policy, and project management.


All women living with HIV from the United States and Canada are welcome to
become Board Members, as long as they are ICWNA members or willing to
become members.

We encourage all WLHIV to nominate or self-nominate. We would like to
encourage WLHIV from historically marginalized groups, including indigenous
and transgender women as well as all groups that are not typically visible
as being representative of WLHIV.  Board election will be conducted via
Survey Monkey and all ICW NA members can vote on the list of candidates.


All issues facing WLHIV in the United States and Canada are relevant,
however, if you have a background, strong interest, in: stigma,
criminalization, economic justice , sexual and reproductive rights, aging,
or any other specific issue for WLHIV, we want to hear from you!


Board Members should be available to either attend an on-site Board meeting
to be held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada or participate virtually or
otherwise in the fall of this year; specific location and dates to be
announced.


During the period of nomination, October 11, 2015 through November 1, 2015,
please send a brief bio and statement of interest in serving on the ICWNA
Board of Directors (approximately two paragraphs to half-page) to
icwnacoordinator at gmail.com.

*"*I AM ICW!*"*



Internal peace is an essential first step to achieving peace in the world.
How do you cultivate it? It's very simple. In the first place by realizing
clearly that all mankind is one, that human beings in every country are
members of one and the same family.

The Dalai Lama <http://www.betterworldheroes.com/dalai-lama.htm>

Guardianship is not to give an order but to give one's self.

Grow
