Chicago, Illinois May 24, 2011Test Positive Aware Network ( TPAN ) announced today that Ryan VanMeter has joined the organization as Director of Development.

"We are thrilled to have Ryan join our team as Director of Development," said Bill Farrand, TPAN's Executive Director. "Ryan's background makes him a great fit for TPAN. He is also well respected as a leader in our community."
Originally from Kansas, VanMeter spent over a year in Germany before settling in Chicago. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Kansas with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications Studies and German, and holds a Masters degree in Political Science from the University of Illinois-Chicago.
"I'm really excited about joining TPAN," said VanMeter. "TPAN is one of our community's strongest forces empowering people living with HIV and educating the larger community about HIV and HIV prevention."
In 2004, VanMeter was named to the Windy City Times "30 under 30". He has lived in Lakeview ( Boystown ) for over ten years and is actively involved in the community. Ryan serves as Board Chair of the Lake View YMCA where he has been a volunteer and member since 2002, and has taken part in the Ride for AIDS Chicago as a rider since 2009.
