Ontario Aboriginal HIV/AIDS StrategyVolunteer Board Director(s)Founded over thirty years ago in recognition that Indigenous people must shape their own strategies to respond to HIV/AIDS and related health challenges, today,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.oahas.org/" target="_blank">Ontario Aboriginal HIV/AIDS Strategy</a> (Oahas) is an Indigenous-led provincial organization committed to supporting healthy, thriving Indigenous communities by providing culturally grounded education and access to programs and harm reduction services that reduce the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted and blood-borne infections (STBBIs).&nbsp;Oahas is guided by the principles of Greater Involvement of People living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA), Meaningful Engagement of People living with HIV/AIDS (MEPA), ‘nothing about us without us,’ Indigenous harm reduction, and respect for cultural knowledges and teachings. Oahas embraces values of autonomy and self-determination, accessibility, innovation, justice, connection, accountability, hope, and advocacy. These values are expressed through practices of direct communication, generosity of spirit, and cultural respect. With this ethos as a foundation, Oahas is seeking candidates for nomination to the Oahas Board of Directors, the governance body that provides Oahas with strategic guidance and advice, fiduciary and legal accountability, and community-centred leadership so it can fulfil its mission and work towards its vision.Board Directors play a central role in advancing Oahas’ mission and strengthening the organization’s ability to serve Indigenous people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS, those who have had a Hepatitis C diagnosis and/or persons who use drugs and access harm reduction services. Directors will provide thoughtful leadership in areas such as organizational direction, policy, financial oversight, and strategic planning, while also serving on committees such as Finance, Governance, Executive, or any ad hoc groups established to advance specific priorities. Board Directors can expect to dedicate approximately 10-15 voluntary hours per month to Oahas-related work, including monthly board meetings and committees’ work and participation.Through this experience, Board Directors will have the chance to deepen their understanding of Indigenous governance, HIV and harm reduction strategies, to practice financial stewardship in the non-profit sector, to build relationships with health-sector and community leaders across Ontario, and to actively participate in meaningful and informed Indigenous community-building initiatives. Ideal candidates will share a strong commitment to Indigenous communities and will contribute to the organization given their practical experience in non-profit governance.
