Sponsored Board participation for younger people with/interested in diabetesBackgroundThe Diabetes Association of the NT Inc., trading as Healthy Living NT (HLNT), is a charitable, independent, member based organisation for people with diabetes and related conditions. As a consumer based organisation, HLNT is managed by a voluntary board, committed to the well-being of all people with diabetes. The Board of HLNT is keen to encourage younger people to join them, to speak about the issues facing them and be a voice on the Board for other young people affected by diabetes. We understand that the hectic lifestyle of younger people – busy jobs, lives or young families - means that it is often not possible to take on the time demands of also being on a Board; but we also realise that you are the future of our Association.
