Who We Are

The women and families network is made up of women and families of all races and all ages from all socioeconomic backgrounds, origins, religions, communities and sexual orientations. The current Main Committee is formed of service providers in the field of HIV, consumers and affected family members.

The Women and Families Network does not have traditional protocols provided by an organizational structure. In lieu of bylaws, a charter has been created which assists the network in following operating agreements which will serve to guide the partners in working effectively together.

The following is a list of the Main Committee members and their respective affiliations.
