Have you considered getting involved in board work, or do you know someone who would like to help shape the future of Positiva Gruppen Syd? We are now accepting nominations for the board for the 2025/26 operational year! The next annual meeting will take place on Thursday, February 20, when the new board will be elected.
Our organization has grown significantly in recent years and is currently in an exciting phase of development, with many projects and a strong local commitment. A board consists of an odd number of members with various roles, such as chairperson, vice-chairperson, treasurer, as well as regular members and alternates. An alternate acts as a substitute for regular members when needed, which does not require attendance at all board meetings.
Positiva Gruppen Syd has an active board, and the nomination committee is now looking for individuals with ideas, time, and dedication to contribute to our work!
About the boards function
Positiva Gruppen Syd is a membership association, and between annual general meetings, the board leads the organization through regular monthly meetings. As a board member, you will be responsible for managing the organization in line with its statutes and goals, including employer responsibilities.
The board makes key decisions regarding budgets, operational plans, and strategic priorities. Board work also involves ensuring compliance with applicable laws and regulations and overseeing accurate financial reporting. The role requires commitment, collaboration, and a willingness to contribute to the organization’s development. The board represents the members’ interests and carries both legal and ethical responsibilities.
We are looking for someone who:
• Shares our values about transparency, integrity, democracy and zero tolerans for racism and discrimination
• Wants to help drive the organization forward and take on responsibility.
• Wants to organize and participate in member activities.
• Can dedicate at least five hours per month to board work and member activities.
For 2025, we are particularly looking for individuals with:
• Experience in employer responsibilities.

• Have experience or interest in political advocacy.
• Have personal experience with HIV-related stigma.
• Are fluent in Swedish and/or English.

• Have expertise in drug-related issues.
We welcome all applications regardless of experience or background. Serving on the board is a great opportunity for personal growth and professional development.
