The Canadian Women’s Health Network (CWHN) is a national bilingual organization
guided by a women-centred, holistic vision of women’s health.  The CWHN: 
-       promotes the advancement of the health of girls and women in Canada; 
-       provides access to information and resources related to women’s health
and health status;
-       supports critical debate; and,
-       facilitates networking. 

We are seeking Aboriginal women, young women, and women living in B.C.,
Alberta, Manitoba, the Maritimes and/or the Territories to become members of
our governing Board.  It deals with broad-based issues that cut across health
matters for diverse groups of women.  Board members are expected to support the
principles and values of the CWHN mission statement.  

Board members serve 2-year (renewable) terms.  Most Board and committee
meetings are carried out by teleconference; most other work is done by email. 
This is not a salaried position, but approved direct expenses related to the
position are reimbursed.  

Qualifications: 
-       Interest and experience in women’s health and health care;
-       Experience and/or interest in the governance of a national voluntary
health organization;
-       Ability to reflect women’s health issues from the perspective of a
broad
and diverse range of communities in an equitable, comprehensive and open
manner;
-       Ability to contribute 6-12 hours per month to governance and networking
activities;
-       At least 18 years of age.


Experience in fundraising, law or accounting, and familiarity with a diversity

visible and language minorities, lesbians and bi-sexual women and women with
