In 1982, as a panicked community faced a deadly new disease, a group of four friends attended an emergency meeting, determined to help. They raised $7,000 at a Christmas benefit -- the seed money to launch AIDS Project Los Angeles, which began with five clients. Today, we serve more than 11,000 with first-rate HIV/AIDS care and prevention programs and fight for smart, effective HIV-related public policy.
Our all-volunteer Board of Directors -- a diverse group of talented professionals -- sets APLA's strategic direction.
