The climate for serving people living with HIV/AIDS in Colorado is continually evolving. As HIV/AIDS has changed over the last 30 years, so too have the demographics and needs of people living with HIV/AIDS, the funding streams and amounts available to support them, and healthcare delivery as a whole.  This evolution has prompted new, more collaborative, more strategic ways of thinking about the delivery of services to those living with HIV and AIDS, as well as prevention education.

The mission of Colorado AIDS Project is to equitably meet the evolving needs of people affected by HIV through prevention, care and advocacy across Colorado.

Colorado AIDS Project envisions a future where all people living with HIV and AIDS have equal access to high quality primary and specialty medical care that is caring and culturally competent; where HIV-related stigma and homophobia is erased; and where those at-risk have access to accurate information so that transmission of the disease is lessened/ended.

Four of Colorado’s five regional AIDS service organizations (ASOs) have recently formed a merged organization to create consolidated operations that will lead to improved efficiencies.  As a result, an exciting opportunity has become available for the right individual to become the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of this new, statewide Colorado AIDS Project.

This hands-on CEO will be responsible for upholding the mission of the statewide Colorado AIDS Project (CAP) through the overall management, planning, and leadership of the organization.  The CEO directs statewide agency activities to provide clients and community members with the highest quality HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and advocacy programs.
