The Body Positive Inc. 2026 Annual General Meeting will be held following the HIV+ Men’s Retreat on Sunday 22nd March 2026 at Vaughan Park in Long Bay, Auckland.

This is the time when we elect our board members and we are actively seeking nominations from our membership. The Board is comprised of up to 8 members with each term being for 2 years. Please take a moment and see if you can identify a Member you feel would be an asset in the guidance of Body Positive. The vision of Body Positive is that All people living with HIV and AIDS are enabled to live fully productive lives, free from stigma and discrimination. Our board is comprised of people living with HIV in accordance with the GIPA/MIPA principles. By having a strong and effective board we will keep people living with HIV at the forefront of the response and make meaningful change.

Beyond ensuring the good governance of the organisation, board officers play a significant role overseeing the implementation of our strategic plan as well as supporting staff, volunteers and stakeholders through new opportunities and challenges as we advocate for the health and wellbeing of the HIV community in New Zealand.

We are committed to ensuring that our board is representative of the diverse HIV positive communities we serve and welcome applicants from all intersections. In particular we are seeking skills that will enhance the boards capabilities – notably skills in finance and governance.

Thank you for your time and support.
