About Organization:
The Latino Commission on AIDS (the Commission) is a nonprofit membership organization founded in 1990 dedicated to meet the health challenges and addressing the impact of HIV & AIDS in our communities. The Latino Commission is the leading organization coordinating National Hispanic Hepatitis Awareness Day (May 15), National Latino AIDS Awareness Day (October 15), Latinos in the Deep South, and other prevention, research, capacity building, and advocacy programs across the United States and its territories.

The Commission is committed to responding to the HIV and AIDS crisis, where social stigma, poverty, language barriers, immigration status fears, and access to care, deter testing and increase the infection rate in our communities. Over 220,000 Hispanics in the U.S. and Puerto Rico have been diagnosed with HIV and AIDS. Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic population in the U.S. Latinos represents approximately 17% of the U.S. population but account for 20% of all new HIV infections.

Since 2000, the Commission has expanded its services outside New York to meet the health challenges of racial/ethnic minority communities in more than 40 states, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The Commission is seeking an experienced Director of Development to guide the continued organizational growth of our agency.
