The AIDS Legal Council of Chicago (ALCC) and Windy City Times will host the 18th annual Advocates of the Year Awards on Thursday, March 22, 2012 to recognize several individuals and organizations working locally to make a difference in the lives of people with HIV. Honorees were chosen last month by a committee of previous award recipients and by representatives from AIDS Legal Council of Chicago and Windy City Times.
"These men and women are on the frontlines of the epidemic and they represent some of the most dedicated and inspiring people in HIV care and advocacy today," says ALCC Executive Director, Ann Hilton Fisher. "Some of them have been widely lauded for their efforts in the past, while others work quietly and with little recognition. It's important that we pay tribute to them as a community and acknowledge the profound difference that their work can make."
This year's honorees are State Rep. Greg Harris, Matthildur "Matta" Kelley of Community Outreach Intervention Projects (COIP), Cheryl Potts of Alexian Brothers AIDS Ministry, and Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN) which is celebrating its 25th year of service. ALCC will also be presenting its own "Friend of the Council Award" to longtime volunteers and donors Ed Jeske and John Hern.
The 2012 Advocates of the Year Awards will be co-presented by ALCC and Windy City Times at the firm of Sidley Austin LLP in downtown Chicago and is being generously supported by leading sponsors Sidley Austin LLP and Kirkland & Ellis LLP. For information, contact Ricardo Cifuentes, director of development for the AIDS Legal Council of Chicago at (312) 427-8990.
