The Dallas Eligible Metropolitan Area Ryan White Planning Council is looking for new council and committee members. The council has 33 slots, and only 19 of them are currently filled.
According to council chair John Dornheim, a membership is limited to two three-year terms. A number of people joined the council together, and they all rolled off at the same time, he explained.
Council members need to reflect the HIV/AIDS community, Dornheim said. So if 30 percent of HIV cases in the 10-county area covered by the council are Hispanic, about a third of council members should be Hispanic, too.
