PAN is very excited to announce that we will be hosting a Positive
Leadership Development (PLDI) training: *Bored? Get on Board!* *February 28
– March 1, 2020 in Vancouver*. This training is only open to graduates of
the Core Leadership Training
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/training-leadership/leadership-pldi/> (formerly
known as “Level I”).

*The **Bored? Get on Board!* governance training will explore the following
topics through presentations, group work and discussions:

*• Presentations and discussions on the voluntary sector in Canada • Board
accountability and responsibilities • Board governance models • Dealing
with difficult situations • General Financial management • Understanding
committee structures and purpose • Understanding potential conflicts of
interest*

It must be emphasized that the upcoming *Bored? Get on Board!* training,
like the Core Leadership Training before it, is a professional development
opportunity – not a retreat. The training will take place over the course
of three 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.
As with the Core Training, this event is recommended for people whose
physical and mental health is at a place that they can fully participate.

Please read this information carefully, as well as the Code of Conduct &
Financial Guidelines
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/files/2019/10/Code-of-Conduct-Financial-Guidelines-PLDI-BGOB-Feb-28-29-1-2020-Final.pdf>
 prior to completing an application.
Who is eligible to apply to attend the Bored? Get on Board! Training?

The *Bored? Get on Board!* Training is only available to PLHIV who have
completed the Core Leadership Training (formerly known as Level I). You
will have taken Core Training either at Loon Lake or Silver Star.
What is the application process for this training?

*There are a total of 20 spots available for the training.* All persons
interested in taking the training must complete and submit an online
application form.

*Deadline for receipt of applications: * *Friday**, January 10, 2020.*

Due to limited administrative resources, to promote efficiency and to make
things easier for our volunteer Selection Committee members, we require
that all applications be submitted electronically: Online or email. We
thank you kindly in advance for complying with this requirement.
*Go to application page
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/application-bored-get-on-board-training-february-2020/>*

https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/application-bored-get-on-board-training-february-2020/

*IMPORTANT*: *Applications should be submitted online*, or to the following
email address: leadership at pacificaidsnetwork.org. Applications should be
saved and sent in the following format: *Lastname_Leadership* – example,
*Seguin_Leadership*. If scanning facilities are available, the application
can be signed, scanned and sent as a PDF. However, it can also be simply
worked on as a word document, and then emailed (we will obtain the
necessary signatures subsequently from all successful applicants).

By submitting an application, a person is indicating that they agree
to the *Code
of Conduct* for the training, the *Financial Guidelines*, as well as
the *Release
of Liability*, to be signed at registration at the start of the training
(See links on this page).
Who will decide who gets to attend the training?

All applications will be reviewed by our volunteer PLDI Steering Committee
comprised of PLHIVs and it is the Steering Committee that will make the
determination as to the successful applicants. Applicants will be notified
as to whether or not they have been accepted to the program on or before
the week of January 22. A small wait-list will be generated as well in the
event there are persons who decide in the end they are not able or willing
to attend the training, and who provide us with the required 5 business
days of notice, i.e. *Thursday February 20, 2020 by 4:00 PM*.
Who will be delivering the training?

PAN works in an ongoing partnership with the OAN & COCQ-SIDA to deliver the
PLDI trainings here in BC Ontario and in Quebec. This particular training
will be delivered by BC trainers.
What costs are covered? What costs are not covered?

*Travel*: PAN will reimburse long-distance direct or local ground or travel
to and from Vancouver for people traveling from outside of the Lower
Mainland (not including Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack); For
participants traveling from within the Lower Mainland who do not have a
monthly transit pass, Trans Link expenses will be reimbursed at the
training facility in Vancouver (you must provide receipts).

*Once accepted, travel bookings, including flight bookings, are the
responsibility of the individual applicant*. Where expenses are present, a
reimbursement expense claim must be made following the training. Flight
bookings will need to be completed by no later than *Friday February 12,
2020* to ensure an economical fare (to a maximum of $400) that will align
with our limited budget. Failure to book before this date will result in a
forfeiture of your seat at the training. The Pacific AIDS Network does not
pay for or reimburse for advance seat selection fees. Baggage fees will be
reimbursed for one bag following the training, using an expense claim form
and your baggage fee receipt. Any additional charges to a flight on on top
of the base cost are the responsibility of the individual. This includes,
but isn’t limited to, changes to reservations and other fees. *Please read
the Code of Conduct & Financial Guidelines
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/files/2019/10/Code-of-Conduct-Financial-Guidelines-PLDI-BGOB-Feb-28-29-1-2020-Final.pdf>
for
further details on travel arrangements and reimbursement.*

For people traveling to Vancouver and flying in and out of the Vancouver
International Airport (main terminal or the south terminal) there is public
transit via the Canada Line Skytrain downtown to the hotel within a short
walk.

If you have concerns about travelling to attend the training please consult
with Marc Seguin, PAN’s PLDI Program Manager. marc at pacificaidsnetwork.org

*Hotel Accommodation*: All participants will stay in Vancouver; we hope
this will facilitate a more enjoyable training experience. PAN will book
accommodations for you, all you need to do is check-in. PAN will help with
your travel arrangements. Marc Seguin, PLDI Program Manager will be in
touch with you, once you are accepted, with regards to logistical and
travel arrangements.

PAN will book all accommodation for persons who are accepted and will be
attending the Bored? Get on Board! Accommodation will be based on shared
occupancy. *If you wish to have a single room a charge of $95.00 per night
will be levied and an invoice will be provided to you onsite at the
training*. Please note that failure to pay the invoice will result in your
exclusion from future PAN sponsored events, including future Leadership
training opportunities.

*Meals*: PAN will provide the following meals for all participants – dinner
on day one of the training (Friday); breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner
per diem on day two (Saturday); breakfast, lunch and snacks on day three
(Sunday). At this time PAN is not in a position to provide any extra daily
per diems for participants.

*Childcare*: We will also provide child care subsidies wherever possible
($50 per day) and the need for childcare must be indicated on your
application form. A signed invoice from your childcare provider must be
attached to your reimbursement form.

The above noted costs are the only costs that PAN will cover for this
training – all other costs are the responsibility of the participant.

*What is the fee?* There is no registration fee for the *Bored? Get on
Board!* governance training.
“No Show” and Cancellation Policy

We want to stress that at present, we only have the resources to provide
this training to a very limited number of PLHIV in BC and PAN is allocating
finite and limited resources to make this training a reality.
PAN therefore requires 5 business days’ notice of a person’s inability to
attend the training, in order to contact persons on the wait list and
ensure that all training spots are filled, i.e., *Thursday February 20,
2020, by 4:00 PM.*

In the event that a person does not arrive at the training hotel at the
designated meeting time on *February 28, 29, and March 1,* or fails to
provide 5 business days’ notice of inability to attend (i.e. by 4:00 PM on
Thursday February 20), PAN will invoice the individual for 100% of their
training costs including any travel charges incurred by PAN, as well as
their accommodation and meal costs. Exceptions to this are for documented
and unexpected medical or health emergencies and family emergencies.

If after having read all of the information above, and having reviewed the
Application Form, Code of Conduct and Financial Guidelines, if you still
have questions, please email us at: leadership at pacificaidsnetwork.org

*Read Code of Conduct & Financial Guidelines before advancing to
application page.*
