Board of Directors

We are fortunate to have a Board of Directors and Advisory Committee that reflect a wide range of expertise in public health, health education, Internet-based health initiatives, medicine, health policy, law, business, social work, social justice, HIV/AIDS, substance abuse, health disparities, youth development, hip hop and youth culture, nonprofit consulting, and program development and evaluation. In 2007, we will expand our Board of Directors and Advisory Committee as part of a technical assistance award provided by the Atlanta Women’s Foundation in partnership with the Georgia Center for Nonprofits.
