The AIDS Foundation is again looking for a new trustee, following the resignation of board member Te Miha Ua-Cookson. Board chair Jeremy Lambert says his contribution will be missed. "Because the new vacancy comes so close to when we last called for applications, the board is developing a short list from existing candidates," he says. "The short-listed individuals will be interviewed at our next board meeting in April, with a view to bringing the board to full strength at that time." Meanwhile, Lambert has been confirmed as chair, with Mark Bridgman elected as deputy. Auckland lawyer Cameron Law, who was co-opted onto the board last year to replace embattled outgoing chair Simon Robb, has now been made a permanent appointment. Lambert says work on the Foundation's constitutional review process has made progress since last year's AGM, and the board should be in a position to go back to the community with a proposed process soon. "Our immediate organisational focus has been to develop responses to the recent increase in new HIV infections in New Zealand and provide effective support for those living with the virus," he says.
