LEAF MANITOBA
"Re-member Equality" - Join LEAF MANITOBA!
The Manitoba branch endeavours to provide LEAF Members, supporters and donors with a forum to both discuss and learn about current equality issues and meet like-minded women. We also seek to provide our Members with opportunites to learn about, become involved in and contirbute to the work of LEAF, including through the "No Means No" Committee, our education and events committees, and our branch executive.
Who is LEAF Manitoba?
LEAF Manitoba is…
Individual and organizational members
Individual and corporate donors
Individual and work group volunteers,
including:
A volunteer Board of Directors
responsible for ensuring the work is
done ethically, effectively, accountably
(and we hope, with common sense,
compassion and humor!)
We are a volunteer based Branch. Our Board functions both as a governance board and as unpaid staff. It is essential that each Board Director assume a task in addition to the shared governance responsibilities. Ongoing work groups include Youth Outreach and “Breakfast.” Ad hoc work groups are formed as needed to address legal issues and special events. General outreach, education and networking are shared. Volunteers will be welcome in all areas but are needed in fundraising, membership development, Library and administrative tasks.
