[Viva] Women on the PL Board of Directors

[Charlene Anderson]

Hello ladies Charlene here, I’ve had the pleasure and honour of being on the board of PLBC.I have always found it exciting to be involved with an organization that is accountable to myself and my peers. The board at PLBC needs to be diverse to make sure the organization continues to thrive and be involved in the HIV world stage. 
My time was great and I have always used go to meetings on my computer as I live in Victoria.
Please consider become a board member and you will learn so much about how governments and non profits and health care work in Canada. And how we as Poz people can really make a difference. 
Hope I didn’t go on to much but I take my role as a Poz person very seriously and am on the board of Vancouver Island PErsons with AIDS Society I  also on the VIVA executive so my plate is a bit full right now.

Victor was previously the President of the Hospital Employees Union and he is keen to make a difference. At Positive Living members of the Board used to also have to be on two Standing Committees. This has changed and it is expected that there will be less time involved than before. In addition, the Board is using GoToMeeting to engage with Board members who are out of the area.
