Exciting News from BABES Netword Board of Directors

The BABES Network Board of Directors is pleased to announce that as of March 1, 2005 BABES Network will be known as BABES Network-YWCA and will be administered as a program of the YWCA of King and Snohomish Counties. This joining of forces will allow BABES to continue its current mission and securely plan for the future by reducing BABES' administrative burdens and insecurity of operating as a small non-profit agency. The relationship offers both organizations expanded program resources by facilitating access for HIV-positive women ! to the YWCA's comprehensive services for women and families and sharing with the YWCA BABES' nearly 15-year expertise working with and advocating for HIV-positive women.

"This new partnership will make sure that BABES is around to meet the increasing needs of the growing population of HIV-positive women. The YWCA understands and has incredible resources to meet the many needs of the women we serve," said Board President Pat Migliore.

"This was a very thoughtful, careful process and I am very excited about the opportunities to improve and expand services for our members ..."Members of BABES Board of Directors will continue to provide support and guidance to the program by serving as an Advisory Committee to the BABES Network-YWCA. BABES staff and peer support programs will remain in their current location, and can be reached at 206-720-5566.

Buenas noticias de la Junta Directiva de la Red BABES

La Junta Directiva de la Red BABES se complace en anunciar que a partir del 1º. de marzo del 2005, la Red de las BABES será conocida como Red BABES-YWCA y será administrada como un programa de la YWCA de los Condados de King y Snohomish. Esta unión de fuerzas permitirá a las BABES continuar su misión actual y un plan seguro para el futuro, reducirá la carga administrativa de las BABES y la inseguridad de operar como una pequeña agencia no lucrativa. Esta nueva relación ofrece a ambas organizaciones la expansión de recursos para programas, por ejemplo al facilitar el acceso de mujeres VIH positivo y sus familias a los servicios del YWCA. Asimismo, podremos compartir con el YWCA la experiencia de 15 años de trabajo de las BABES apoyando a mujeres VIH positivo.

"Esta nueva sociedad asegurará que las BABES satisfagan las necesidades cada vez mayores de la población creciente de mujeres VIH positivo. La YWCA comprende y tiene recursos increíbles para satisfacer las necesidades de las mujeres que servimos," dijo la Presidenta de la Junta Pat Migliore

"Este fue un proceso muy cuidadosamente pensado y estoy muy emocionada acerca de las oportunidades que tendremos para mejorar y expandir los servicios para nuestras socias….."

La Junta Directiva de las BABES continuará brindando apoyo y orientación como un Comité Asesor para la Red BABES-YWCA. El personal de las BABES y los programas de apoyo de igual a igual continuarán en su dirección actual, y pueden ser contactados al teléfono (206) 720-5566.
