Board Members Wanted

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 women living Atlantic Canada, young women, women of colour or
from marginalized groups 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
of women’s health issues would be a definite asset. Women from visible and
language minorities, lesbians and bi-sexual women and women with disabilities
