Structure

The organizational structure of Positive is unique in that community partners make up the Board that governs the direction of the project by providing experience, knowledge and community connections. Further community involvement is fostered by the Taskforce structure where specific Taskforces for each project component are populated and follow work plans under the guidance of Positive staff. These Taskforces are made up of committed content experts in each area from DuPage community organizations. Organizations participating on the Board or on the Taskforces are considered Partners in the work of Positive.
