Summary
In addition to these highlighted programs, ASAP staff continued to serve on panels
with the Centers for Disease Control, the American Red Cross, the U.S. Fire Administration, and other organizations to review programs, AIDS/HIV materials, and
provide input for effective communication, education and prevention. ASAP programs
and staff were featured in CDC's monthly AIDS/HIV Update, on CNN News, Fox Morning News, Family News in Focus, and on more than 100 regional and local media
outlets nationwide.
Requests for ASAP's counsel, leadership and resources continue to increase with the
organization's expertise and longevity. Having achieved recognition of the appropriateness of its founding tenets, ASAP seeks to further limit the spread of the
epidemic and deal effectively with its consequences. One possible means to accomplish
this is through targeted state-wide programs. ASAP state chapters active in North
Carolina and under formation in New England, will serve as models for such future
efforts.
The effective programs and achievements of 1991 have in large measure set priorities
and strategies for 1992, enabling ASAP staff, supporters and volunteers to enter the new
year with a solid foundation and firm direction building toward a future in which the
epidemic's relentless spread will be curtailed and the suffering of so many eliminated.
