PAN is very excited to announce that we will be hosting a Positive Leadership Development (PLDI) training: Bored? Get on Board! February 23 – 25, 2018 in Richmond. This training is only open to graduates of the Core Leadership Training (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.
Training Dates: February 23 – 25, 2018
Training Location: Richmond, BC
Who is eligible to apply to attend the Bored? Get on Board! Training?

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 30. 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 15th 2018 by 4:00pm.
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 Valerie Nicholson, John Dub, and Jaydee Cossar.
