Dear PLDI GRADs,





I hope this e-mail finds you well and having a great start to 2020!
   Sending along a reminder below- in case you have not yet registered for
it.



On behalf of the Pacific AIDS Network (PAN)  and Vancouver Friends for Life
(FFL)  please find attached this invitation below regarding our joint
initiative(s) in March 2020. This may be of particular interest to PLDI
Grads discussing areas like *leadership stories- qualities and needs;
meaningful involvement of peers in community work; community programs
(existing and desired); stigma; advocacy issues**!*

reflecting
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/2019/09/23/reimagining-our-provincial-events-and-building-for-the-future/>
on our mission, funding and event evaluations, PAN wanted to create new
opportunities for our members, and for people with HIV and/or lived
experience of hepatitis C to build community.  We are very excited to
invite you to apply for the Peer Gatherings 2020
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/peer-gathering-2020/> at the Civic Hotel in
Surrey.  As this is being distributed to multiple target groups, you may
even get the heads up twice (sorry!).



PAN and Vancouver Friends for Life are collaborating to share costs, admin
– and, most importantly, opportunities - for 2 distinct events in March
2020.   Depending on eligibility, you may be able to apply
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/peer-gathering-2020/> to one or both events
(deadline February 3) – but as we expect more applicants than spaces, we
will inform you the following week if you were selected. As you will note,
all base costs are covered.



*Event 1 –Women’s Wellness and Leadership Celebration (March 10, 2020)*

This event is presented by Friends for Life and is for women living with
HIV and/or lived experience of hepatitis C who have applied for or
received *Women’s
Wellness and Leadership Project*
<https://www.vancouverfriendsforlife.ca/women-s-welleness-project> funds
from Friends For Life.  For program information, please contact Friends for
Life <https://www.vancouverfriendsforlife.ca/contact>. Women applying for
the Friends for Life event may also apply for the Pacific AIDS Network
event on Day 2.



*Event 2 – Stories of Lived Experience (March 11, 2020)*

The Pacific AIDS Network (PAN) Stories of Lived Experience (SoLE) will take
people with lived experience of HIV and/or lived experience of hepatitis C
into an exciting new space for community building. We are bringing together
peers to talk about leadership in all aspects of life, as well as the
issues that arise from their lived experiences, both honouring differences
and discovering similarities. For those who have attended the people living
with HIV Forum at PAN Fall Conferences in years past, this is a step
beyond: a place to welcome those with HIV and/or lived experience of
hepatitis C to learn and support each other in health and growth. There
will also be peer storytelling, and a chance to understand, inform and get
involved with PAN’s work. A draft program will be posted to this page
<https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/peer-gathering-2020/> as it becomes
available.



*The deadline for submitting an application is Monday, February 3, at 4 PM.*
Applicants will be informed of their status by Monday February 10, 2020.



APPLY NOW! <https://pacificaidsnetwork.org/peer-gathering-2020/>



Thank you for your leadership!
