2008-2009Program Highlights AIDS FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO 2008-2009 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS The AIDS FOUNDATION OF CHICAGO is a force for change. We pursue a broad range of activities to end new infections, improve the lives of people with HIV, and strengthen government and community responses to the epidemic. Founded in 1985 by community activists and physicians, we fortify local, national, and international HIV-related activities. We specialize in efforts to: • Advocate with and for people affected by HIV/AIDS. • Fund and coordinate prevention, care, and advocacy projects. • Cultivate the capacity and expertise of individuals and organizations dedicated to ending HIV/AIDS. Together with our individual, government, and community partners, we reach tens of thousands of people in need each year and make our collective efforts better and stronger. We are a source of hope—a force for change. The AIDS Foundation of Chicago dedicates this report to the tens of thousands of Illinoisans affected by HIV/AIDS and the many dedicated volunteers and professionals who, through their daily activities, champion compassion and action in the wake of the HIV/AIDS crisis. A Force for Change Table of Contents: A message from the President/CEO, Board Chair and SPC Chair 7 Leadership and advocacy 8 Prevention and care 10 Preparing for the future 12 AFC 2.0: Our online presence 14 Special events 16 Financial summary 18 Corporate and Foundation Supporters 19 The Year Ahead 20 2009 Calendar of Events 21 Individual Donors 22 Board of Directors and Staff 27 Service Providers Council Executive Committee & Junior Board 28 AFC’s Service Providers Council 29 Thank You 30 A Look Back 31 Message from President/CEO, Board Chair, and SPC Chair Dear Friends: For nearly 25 years, the AIDS Foundation of Chicago (AFC) has been a source of hope and a force for change, working with key partners to reduce HIV transmission and improve the lives of people with and at risk for HIV through advocacy, funding, and collaboration. As we outlined in our 2008-2010 Strategic Plan, A Force for Change, AFC’s aim remains unchanged: marshalling resources to prevent new cases of HIV transmission and helping those living with HIV/AIDS receive the healthcare and social services they need and deserve. A year has passed since the release of A Force for Change, and AFC has made great strides in the three areas of the Strategic Plan, which also frame this report: Leadership & Advocacy, Prevention & Care, and Preparing for the Future. Among the highlights: •AFC and its national partners led the call for a National AIDS Strategy, an idea President Barack Obama has pledged to make a reality. Once developed, the comprehensive, results-oriented strategy can guide federal efforts to prevent HIV transmission, increase access to HIV care, and reduce racial/ethnic health disparities. •AFC is putting the fi nishing touches on the nation’s most comprehensive and coordinated HIV/AIDS case management system to ensure people with HIV/AIDS gain access to the medical and support services they need. •AFC and DePaul University launched the Public Health Boot Camp, a rigorous one-week training institute to foster future HIV community leaders. Looking ahead, AFC plans to expand its nationally recognized housing programs for low-income people living with HIV (Left to Right) Joe Sullivan, Mark Ishaug and Chet Kelly. throughout the region and invest in the future by strengthening the service providers on which people affected by HIV/ AIDS depend. AFC will also invest in prevention to expand condom distribution, sterile syringe availability, social marketing campaigns, and other services for both HIV-negative and HIV-positive individuals. Yes, these are diffi cult economic times, but AFC forges ahead. We must. Our work is critical, and lives are at stake. Thank you for all you do to support, inspire, and advance our collective cause. With you in our corner, we can continue to be a force for change. Sincerely, Mark Ishaug, President/CEO Joe Sullivan, Chair, Board of Directors Chet Kelly, Chair, Service Providers Council 7 LEADERSHIP AND ADVOCACY Ending the AIDS epidemic requires bold leadership and advocacy AFC mobilizes thousands of AIDS advocates each month to ensure government leaders at AFC and its national partners led the call for a National AIDS Strategy, the local, state, and federal levels do all they can to respond to the epidemic. We rely on an idea President Barack Obama has pledged to make a reality. our statewide network of dedicated volunteers to speak truth to power and hold government entities accountable. We continue to train and FEDERAL inspire new leaders, many of whom are living Fighting for Better Coordination and Resultsults with HIV/AIDS, to improve the lives of people During the 2008 presidential campaign, AFC worked at the national level to ggaugeauge primaprimaryry presidential candidatescandidates’’ affected by the disease. positions on HIV/AIDS via the AIDSVote.org survey and helped launch the National AIDS StrateStrategygy (nationalaidsstrategy.org) campaign. As a result, President Barack Obamaa pledgedpledged to make the National AIDS Strategy a centerpiece of his administration’s domestic HIV/AIDS agenda.a. Once developed, the comprehensive, results-oriented strategy can guide federal efforts to prevent HIV transmission,ssion, increase access to HIV care, and reduce racial/ethnic health disparities. In early 2008, AFC worked closely with Illinois AIDS advocates and congressional allies to ensure a fi ve-year extension for the landmark U.S. global HIV/AIDS program. The bill, signed into law by former President George W. Bush, authorizes up to $48 billion over fi ve years for internationalnal HIV/AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis initiatives and brings the U.S. closer to achieving universal access goals for HIV-related prevention, care, and treatment services. The new law also repealed a discriminatory statute banning HIV-positive foreign nationals from legally entering or immigratingg to the U.S. In 2009, AFC will work closely with the Obama Administration and the 111th1th Congress to develop the National AIDS Strategy, champion needed federalal funding increases, and pass more than a dozen pieces of legislation designed to improve HIV prevention and care services. 8 INTERNATIONAL REGIONAL Making the Local-Global Connection Building Advocacy Capacity Across the MidwestMidwes In August, AFC policy and prevention experts traveled to Mexico City to lead workshops and discussions on gay men’s health and social justice issues at the 17th International AIDS Confer- InIn partnershippartners with the Minnesota AIDS Project, AFC launched the ence.

AFC monitored more than 40 HIV-related bills introduced during the Illinois General Assembly’s 2008 spring legislative session. AFC played a leadership role advancing legislation to lower sexually transmitted diseases, which fuel HIV transmission; protect the privacy of HIV-positive students; and prevent drug overdoses, an increasing threat for people with and at-risk for HIV/AIDS. Work on each measure continues in 2009 with the assistance of new coalition and legislative partners. AFC worked with city offi cials to safeguard essential HIV prevention and AIDS housing services from funding reductions in Mayor Richard M. Daley’s 2009 proposed city budget. The mayor proposed, and City Council subsequently approved, $4.25 million for HIV prevention and $250,000 for AIDS hous- ing, the same amounts provided in 2008. AFC will work closely with Chicago’s City Council and City Hall to safeguard essential HIV/AIDS services in 2009. 9 PREVENTION AND CARE To bring an eventual end to HIV/AIDS, AFC focuses on a comprehensive array of The science is clear: clean needles and proper prevention and care strategies tailored for use of condoms prevent HIV infection.

  • Message from the Dean
    Developing the Next Generation of Healthcare Leaders ANNUAL REPORT 2009-10 Message from the Dean Solid Foundation Prepares Strong Future As I look back on our accomplishments during the 2009-2010 academic year, I am reminded of one of our greatest accomplishments to date – the Groundbreaking Ceremony for John and Editha Kapoor Hall. This event represents the beginning of our future as well as the focus of all we currently strive to achieve and enhance. Kapoor Hall will allow us to attain our curricular objectives, advance our research, expand collegial interactions and assist all members of the school in reaching their goals. The September 2009 Groundbreaking Ceremony laid the foundation for our occupancy of the building in the Summer of 2012. Our PharmD students were very active in pharmacy and healthcare policy objectives. Legislatively, SPAWNY organized a very successful Pharmacy Legislative Advocacy Day where local legislators visited the school and spoke with students about state health care policy and budget. APhA-ASP tackled legislative issues with the creation of a video showing how pharmacy impacts heath care reform at the local and regional levels. This was submitted to APhA as well as state and federal congressional offices. Nationally, the UB Team again took top honors with fourth place recognition at the AACP’s Pruitt-Schutte Business Plan Competition. On campus, our students represented the school well by their invited participation at the UB Celebration of Academic Excellence where PharmD and pharmaceutical sciences students showcased their research work via poster presentations. The continued high caliber work of our faculty continues to be recognized.
