AIDS Alliance for Children, Youth & Families’ Open Call for Committee Nominations

January 2011

Are you looking to get involved at a national level with HIV/AIDS issues that impact women, youth and families living with HIV?

AIDS Alliance for Children, Youth & Families is soliciting individuals to become members of their leadership committees. Consumers, providers and other interested individuals in the United States–including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands–are encouraged to apply. Individuals directly affiliated with a Part D program as well as those from other funded programs that serve women, youth, children and families living with or at risk for HIV are eligible.

Committee responsibilities generally involve participating in one-hour long monthly committee conference calls and limited (2-3 hrs/month maximum) preparatory work for these calls that helps to inform and shape AIDS Alliance work. Consumers, providers and other interested individuals may be nominated, including self-nomination for the following committees:


  1. Consumer Committee: Serves as a representative voice for consumers served by AIDS Alliance. Members of the Consumer Committee will have the opportunity to share views on policy and programmatic issues and make recommendations to AIDS Alliance Board and leadership. Consumer Committee membership must be 70% PLWHA.

  2. Program Committee: Will identify, analyze and review emerging issues and program needs of consumer and provider constituency of AIDS Alliance, and includes the oversight of the development of the annual VOICES conference.

  3. Public Policy Committee: Will oversee and guide all public policy and advocacy work conducted by AIDS Alliance, including the identification and prioritization of federal and state level issues that most impact on women, youth and families with HIV and the Part D and other providers that serve them.

  4. Youth/Young Adult Advisory Committee: Will provide insight, guidance and opinions to the Executive Director and staff on issues that impact young people living with and at risk for HIV/AIDS. Young people up to the age of 26 are encouraged to apply.

If you are interested in being considered for one of these committees please send an email to info@aids-alliance.org that states the committee you are interested in, a brief statement that describes your interest in this committee and your relevant experience, and your resume or CV.

The success and relevance of our work is dependent upon having the voices and experiences of providers and consumers from around the country informing our work. We hope that you will consider nominating yourself for one of these committees.
