The Ontario Women's Health Network (OWHN) is currently accepting
applications for the upcoming Women's Health Leadership 101 training
retreats scheduled for March 7-9, 2011 and March 23-25, 2011,
respectively, at the Nottawasaga Inn in Alliston. Women's Health
Leadership 101 is the first of three graduated training levels that
make up the Women's Health Leadership Program. This is an ongoing
program and further upcoming retreat dates and information will be
announced in the near future.

The program, funded by Echo: Improving Women's Health in Ontario,
seeks to amplify women's voices in the development of health policy,
research and services.

Women's Health Leadership 101 addresses leadership and sex and
gender based analysis in the context of women's health and health
systems in a participatory and supportive environment. It explores
women's own sense of leadership and application of skills, while
enhancing their leadership skills and community networks.

This program is designed for women who are motivated and
interested in women's health issues and who are already actively
engaged in their communities. The program seeks to recruit women
who are committed to being active in women's health issues in their
communities following the retreat.

More information about the program as well as the application package
is available on the OWHN website at: http://www.owhn.on.ca/Women%27s_Health_Leadership.htm

Health Leadership Program should complete application and return
