USCA: Master Series for Leadership Septembers 10 – 13, 2015 Washington, DCThe 2015 United States Conference on AIDS (USCA) will be in Washington, DC September 10-13. A new and innovative program for this year’s conference is its version of the TED Talks for the HIV Movement series. This program seeks to replicate, but has no affiliation with TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) Talks which were started with the vision of “Ideas Worth Spreading.” The unique lecture series is for high functioning organizations that understand the urgency behind the work. It’s not basic capacity building; instead, the TED Talks for the HIV movement will be a forum to build leadership. The talks will look the big questions. • Where are we going? • What is our future? • What issues should the community address as we look at HIV after the Affordable Care Act, but before we end the epidemic? Dr. Anthony S. Fauci
MOISES AGOSTO, JACQUELINE COLEMAN & DR. KIM JOHNSONNMAC leads with race. Three senior staff will talk about race, racism, health equity, and racial justice within the context of HIV. They will outline what our movement needs to do to normalize discussions on these important topics. NMAC sees this as an urgent first step towards bending the curve of new HIV infections and retaining HIV positive people of color in care. SANDY THURMAN, DR.GRANT COLFAX & JEFFREY S. CROWLEYSandy Thurman, Grant Colfax, and Jeff Crowley all hold unique perspectives as former heads of the White House Office of National AIDS Policy. They were privy to what happens behind the scenes. We’ve asked them to talk about their time in the White House and to share their thoughts and recommendations on what it’s going to take to end the HIV epidemic. DR EUGENE MCCRAY, MD
PETER STALEY
DR. LAURA CHEEVER
MARK HARRINGTON, CHARLES KING & NEIL GIULIANOUSCA invited back Mark Harrington (Treatment Action Group) and Charles King (Housing Works) to update the conference on the status of New York State’s plan to end the epidemic. We’ve also asked Neil Giuliano (San Francisco AIDS Foundation) to discuss the plans in San Francisco. Leaders from other jurisdictions will be added to this session when they are confirmed. The HIV TED Talks were developed in direct response to participant’s requests for more advanced discussions at USCA. We hope you will find them insightful, provocative and educational. |
