There are three levels of participation in APIN: Executive, Steering Committee and Members at Large.

APIN Executive

This group consists of the Steering Committee Chair, Vice Chair, Treasurer and a representative of the Healthy Child Manitoba Office (APIN Funder). The Executive responds to operational and funding issues related to the Steering Committee.

Steering Committee

APIN activities are coordinated by a volunteer steering committee of 8 to 14 members. Participation is open to individuals or representatives of agencies or groups who agree with APIN's guiding principles. Steering Committee members are expected to attend regularly scheduled meetings, support APIN events and bring forward relevant advocacy issues to the committee for discussion. A minimum two-year commitment to the steering committee is encouraged. See our steering comittee members
