The ADAP Advocacy Association earlier this week announced the Call for Nominations for its 2018 Annual ADAP Leadership Awards. The awards recognize individual, community, government and corporate leaders who are working to improve access to care and treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS - notably under the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP). Whereas the honorees are awarded a shiny plaque, more importantly they receive the acknowledgment and appreciation for their meaningful contributions to ending the epidemic impacting the 1.1 million people in the United States who are living with HIV/AIDS.
Submit a nomination at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F52YKT3.
Nominations are solicited annually from the community, and honorees are selected by an Awards Committee comprised of our board members, as well as other ADAP stakeholders (including former award honorees). The awards are presented to the honorees during our Annual ADAP Leadership Awards Dinner, which is held at the conclusion of our Annual AIDS Drug Assistance Program Conference in Washington, DC. This year's awards dinner is slated for Friday, September 21st and it will be headlined by the one-and-only Josh Robbins, who is "one of the coolest HIV-positive patient advocates in the history of the world."
The award categories focus on community-based advocacy, social media advocacy, and grassroots advocacy. Additionally, individuals are recognized for their contributions with the "William E. Arnold" ADAP Champion award, Emerging Leader award, and Lawmaker award. Other awards are also part of the annual celebration of the grit, grind, satisfaction, and tribulations associated with fighting the epidemic.
2018 represents the eleventh year that the ADAP Advocacy Association has publicly thanked honorees for their leadership, and since 2010, it has been done at our awards dinner. We invite you to nominate someone today at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/F52YKT3.
