Hello ViVA women, I got in touch with the PWN board to find out more about the upcoming meeting next Tuesday.  I spoke to two board members and found out a few things I want to share. 1.       Please come to the meeting !!  This is going to be an opportunity to learn what has happened, ask questions and have some input into what the next steps are as the organization closes.   2.       The organization will still exist for a few more months and if  members want an event to provide more closure, with photo viewing and shared memories etc that can happen but we need to organize it,.  If there is enough interest,  PWN will offer the space and some funding for food etc.    3.       The board wants direction /ideas  from women on what to do with some of the organization’s stuff – research posters, art etc etc 4.       The board of PWN has worked hard to maintain a good relationship with the provincial funders (Provincial Health Services Authority- PHSA).  The PWN board seems genuinely committed to hearing from members in terms of recommendations for future services. There WILL still be some Provincial  funding hopefully after a needs assessment (which needless to say MUST be guided by positive women! ).  The PWN board wants to support positive women in getting what they need, whether that’s through  ViVA  and/or possibly other organizations. There is much opportunity here as Viva members have already mentioned in emails last week.  Let’s make sure that we, as positive women lead the way! I’m feeling more optimistic about the changes and that it will be an opportunity for US  to revitalize and reinvent services and support for women with HIV in BC The Special General Meeting is next Tuesday May 30th at 5 pm at PWN on the 6th floor.  There will be some food/coffee/tea  provided.   Members can also phone in if you can’t make it in person.  Thanks and hope to see you awesome women there !  Kath
