Vancouver Women’s Health Collective – Thanks for the Memories!

After serving on the board of the Vancouver Women’s Health Collective for three years, I decided it was time to step down and make room for new voices. Being part of this 45 year old organization has been a privilege and I will continue to support it and encourage you to do the same. My farewell blog entry is posted here. Merci à mes collègues et bonne chance au nouveau conseil d’administration!
