ICW has a representative structure: We have an International Steering Committee (ISC) made up of 16 HIV positive women from around the globe (Africa, Asia / Pacific, Latin America / Caribbean, North America, Europe), all of whom are democratically elected, and a board of Trustees based in London. The ISC is responsible for agreeing the goals, positions and strategic direction of ICW as a global network. The regional selection process for ISC members is determined within the region with the existing ISC representatives for that region taking the lead on the selection process. New representatives are elected by HIV positive women who are ICW members in that region. |
