>> 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!
