Project Inform, a national nonprofit organization working to end the AIDS epidemic, recently announced a pair of key changes in its leadership. Martin Delaney announced he will leave his leadership post at the agency after 23 years, effective January 1, 2008. The agency also announced Dana Van Gorder will become Executive Director beginning November 15.
Michael Allerton, President of Project Inform's Board of Directors said the agency's current transition helps to assure its ongoing contribution to ending HIV/AIDS. "Sometimes when organizations make the transition from the leadership of a founder to a new generation of leadership, it can be a time of risk. In Project Inform's case, however, the Board has thoughtfully planned for the agency's evolution. Along with Dana's many contributions to the community and experience in HIV, our highly professional and dedicated staff and volunteers, and Marty's commitment to our ongoing success, I see nothing but a bright future at Project Inform. I am extremely honored and excited to be a part of this organization at this critical juncture in its history."
