> Dear Executive Director/Lead Staff or Client Support Person:
>  
> I'm excited to introduce you all to PAN's new PLDI Manager (although he's a familiar face to many of you), Marc Seguin. Marc was one of PAN's founding PLDI trainers, along with Kath Webster, and helped to shepherd the program through its early stages of life and so it feels great to have Marc join the team as we celebrate our 10 year anniversary of PLDI.
>  
> In celebration of our 10 year anniversary we will be holding our 16th Core Leadership Training on October 31 – November 3, 2019. The training once again will be held at Loon Lake.
>  
> We encourage you to share this information and online application with People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in your organization but also with client support workers and/or other staff, in your organizations that work most closely with people living with HIV.

>  
> What is the Positive Leadership Development Institute? 
> The Positive Leadership Development Institute is a three-module professional development skills training for people living with HIV and offers s an opportunity to identify and develop leadership skills. The three modules of the training are:
>  
> ·    Core Leadership Training
> ·    Communication Skills Training
> ·    Bored? Get on Board! (Board/organizational governance)
>  
> The Core Leadership Training provides the foundation for the other two modules of the training and is a prerequisite for all other PLDI events and resources. Core Leadership Training seeks to answer the question: "Who am I as a Leader?" The three main goals of the training are:
>  
> 1.  To identify personal values and philosophy;
> 2.  To develop leadership skills and practices;
> 3.  To gain community knowledge and awareness.
>  
> The curriculum objectives for the training are for participants to have the opportunity:
>  
> ·    To understand the 5 principles and 10 commitments of leadership
> ·    To realize individual leadership potential
> ·    To participate in building a network of leaders within the PLHIV community
> ·    To realize the potential and strengths that each individual brings to the network
> ·    To learn about and practice leadership skills in a safe environment
> ·    To inspire others to become leaders
> ·    To encourage participants to take on facilitator and mentoring roles within the community
> ·    To expand participants awareness of our community
>  
> IMPORTANT: It must be emphasized that the PLDI trainings are professional development opportunities - not retreats. The Core Leadership Training will take place over the course of four days - and these days are very structured and intensive. While there are scheduled breaks, the days are quite long and people attending the training are expected to be present and participating for the duration. This training is therefore recommended for people whose physical and mental health is at a place that they can fully participate.
>  
> Who is eligible to attend? 
> In order to attend, a person must be living with HIV/AIDS and resident in BC. Applicants must also have the endorsement of a PAN member agency. PAN is committed to ensuring diverse representation of people living with HIV. Core Leadership Training can be beneficial for PLHIV’s both new and experienced in HIV work.
