---------------------------------------

GIN is a global network of LGBTIQ++ people of faith who use their faith traditions as a source of insight and energy to advocate for the human rights of LGBTIQ++ people globally.  GIN has a specific focus on what we call Key Affected Contexts, places where violence and power collude with religion, culture and tradition most viciously to instigate homophobic and transphobic discrimination, many of which are in the Global South. Our Secretariat is based in South Africa, and we have approximately 420 members (both individuals and organisations) worldwide.

Our Board consists of 8 regional representatives (one for each region: Latin America, the Caribbean, Sub Saharan Africa, Middle East and North Africa, South and Central Asia, East and South East Asia, the Pacific, and the ‘Global North’ region which includes the US, Canada, Australia, NewZealand and Europe) as well as 3 South African representatives to facilitate the day to day operations of the organization.  

The Board meets online every two months, and face to face once a year for about three days (although at the moment, this meeting is also taking place virtually).

During our last GIN General Members' Meeting (GMM) which took place online in September 2021, we ran Board elections for 6 Board representatives and replaced outgoing Board members in Latin America, South and Central Asia, East and South East Asia and 2 of the 3 South Africans.

But we failed to get nominations or applications in time for the Global North region.  We are therefore calling again for nominations for this region, and will, run a Special Vote process to elect a new Board member for the region which includes, Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Thank you for being willing to spend the time to do this! It will help others in the region.
