Ryan White 2010 Awards
Seven really hard choices get made at each Grantee Meeting: selecting Ryan White Awardees. This year’s winners—recognized at the August 24 awards event—collectively have over 100 years experience in HIV/AIDS care. Most are approaching their third decade in the field, with tenures ranging from 29 years to 10.
Their years of contributions were matched by those in the audience—among them some of the staffers who helped put the Ryan White CARE Act in place, like Steven Bowen, Anita Eichler, and June Horner.
