The PosPeds Board is a hard-working group with active committees in the areas of Outreach, Membership, Communications, Finance, Merchandise and Organizational Development. The Board will also continue its process of becoming its own non-profit organization. A new member would be expected to bring his/her talents and expertise to the group and be willing to contribute your time toward meeting our aims and goals.

• * Provide prior AIDS bike ride(s) and/or AIDS organization(s) experience

You are welcome to include any information you feel would be appropriate for our selection process. This call for applicants is open to all PosPeds members wherever you live. And this year, we are also seeking to expand our Board representation to include our HIV negative supporters!

If you feel this your time to serve, please submit your applications to the PosPeds Board Co-Chairs, Tom Keep and Grady Allison at tom.keep@pospeds.org and grady.allison@pospeds.org no later than March 15, 2012.

The annual Paul Hulse Century is a one day scenic 104 mile trip through some of Southern California’s most spectacular orange grove countrysides! The scenery is quite beautiful and the smells from the orange groves will blow your mind! The ride has become one of the premier training ride events for southern California in preparation for ALC & usually a season favorite for most riders. The event is dedicated to Paul Hulse who played a primary role in the development and expansion of Positive Pedalers and their mission to eliminate the stigma of HIV/AIDS through our positive public example.

For more information, please see the Ride Registration page.

Positive Pedalers is once again celebrating Positive Pedalers Day on April 29th by empowering each member to reflect on how much all their efforts have contributed to their local communities, AIDS organizations and HIV/AIDS education across the nation.

This is really a day to celebrate our health and find gratitude that we all live with HIV and give back to our communities by providing HIV/AIDS funding and eliminating stigma of HIV/AIDS in so many ways.

We are an extraordinary group of women and men in every aspect of our lives, so let’s celebrate our PosPeds holiday and embrace the good things that our organization does every day of our lives.
