President Obama names the First Black and Gay man to head the Office of National AIDS Policy

I missed this yesterday. President Obama named Douglas M. Brooks head of the Office of National AIDS Policy. Douglas is the first Black and gay man in this role (good stuff)

President Obama said:

"Douglas’s policy expertise combined with his extensive experience working in the community makes him uniquely suited to the task of helping to achieve the goal of an AIDS-free generation, which is within our reach."

Douglas has an impressive background in the field. He has served on the President’s Advisory Council on HIV/AIDS, former senior vice president for community, health, and public policy at the Justice Resource Institute in Boston, and has served on the boards of the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, AIDS United, and the National Black Gay Men's Advocacy Coalition.

Good luck, Douglas
