Box 2065</div> <div> Fayetteville, NC 28302-2065</div> <bR> <div> Dear Mr. Rozier:</div> <bR> <div> I am very pleased to extend to you an invitation to serve as a member of the North Carolina AIDS Advisory Council.  As you know, the North Carolina AIDS Advisory Council (Council, NCAAC) is the statewide advisory group created in 1994 with a mission of <I>“… providing State policymakers informed and unified advice, advocacy and leadership on issues relating to the HIV epidemic.”</I>  If you accept this appointment, you will become one of eighteen North Carolinians whose advice and guidance are sought and whose leadership and advocacy are expected as we continue the collective efforts to fight HIV/AIDS in North Carolina.  </div> <div>      </div> <div> I have been extremely impressed with your personal and organizational dedication and commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS and other STDs in your community.  Your initiative, creativity and leadership, as well as the work you do every day, have been recognized statewide and beyond.  When people think of Ashley Rozier, they think of an incredibly dedicated and hard working African American man who says what he believes and does what he needs to do to get the job done.  These are behaviors, along with a willingness and ability to work positively and cooperatively as a member of a collective, that are essential to the success of the Council and the achievement of the Council’s – and the State’s – mission and goals. </div> <div>      </div> <div> Serving on the Council is an important position; one that is reserved for those that I believe can participate as an effective partner, and that can make significant contributions to the dialogue that must occur and to the actions that must take place if North Carolina is to make any progress in the HIV/AIDS prevention and care arena.  You obviously fit that profile extremely well, and I sincerely hope that you will accept this invitation to continue your outstanding work and service to the people of North Carolina as a member of the Council.</div> <div>      </div> <div> Thank you for your past and future efforts on behalf of your community and the people of North Carolina.  I look forward to your positive response to this appointment, and to working with you as a member of the North Carolina AIDS Advisory Council. For your information and planning, the next meeting of the Council is scheduled for Friday, February 21, 2003, from 10:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m., in Raleigh.  Please contact me (919-733-7081) or Steve Sherman, staff to the Council (919-715-3111), if you have any questions about the Council and to provide your response.</div> <bR> <div> Sincerely,</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Leah Devlin, DDS, MPH</div> <div>      </div> <div> C: Pastor Ed White</div> <div>     Steve Sherman</div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div> Location: 1330 St. Mary’s Street <FONT SIZE="1" COLOR="#000000" FACE="WP MathA" >C</FONT> Raleigh, N.C. 27605                               An Equal Opportunity Employer</div> <bR> </tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <div> -----Original Message-----</div> <div> <B>From:</B> Steve Sherman [mailto:Steve.Sherman@ncmail.net] </div> <bR> <div> <B>Sent:</B> Monday, January 13, 2003 10:13 AM</div> <bR> <div> <B>To:</B> Pastor Ed White; Carolyn McAllaster, JD; Patricia Bartlett; Eloise Hicks; Les Kooyman; Jacquie Clements; Susan O'Brien; Terry Mardis; Vern Abraham; Dr. Betty Alexander; Ashley Rozier; Patrick Lee, JD; Bob Winstead; Kristina Butler; Brenda Hunt; Gregory Stroud</div> <div> <B>Cc:</B> Evelyn Foust; Steve Cline; Leah Devlin</div> <bR> <div> <B>Subject:</B> A few notes on NCAAC Membership and 2003 Meeting Schedule</div> <bR> <div> <B>Importance:</B> High</div> <bR> <div> Hi y'all, </div> <bR> <div> Just a very quick note to wish you a Happy New Year; I hope you had a great holiday season and had some time to get at least a little rest among the celebrating.
