Raleigh, NC (August 2, 2012) — The Alliance of AIDS Services - Carolina is excited to welcome Stacy Duck as its new Executive Director effective August 6, 2012.
Stacy comes to the Alliance from the Chatham Social Health Council in Siler City, where she has served as Executive Director since 2008. She brings 22 years of experience in mental health and five years HIV prevention and education, including 12 years with the State of New York's Developmental Disabilities Services Office. Stacy has also contributed to numerous scholarly articles on Latino men and their sexual health in conjunction with ongoing research at Wake Forest University's School of Medicine. Of her new position at the Alliance, Stacy says "I am excited to be the next person to lead this outstanding agency and I look forward to bringing a new and fresh point of view to the Alliance.”
The mission of the Alliance is to serve people living with HIV/AIDS, their loved ones, caregivers and communities at large, through compassionate and non-judgmental care, prevention, education and advocacy.
Dating back to a 1989 consolidation of a number of grassroots AIDS service organizations in the Triangle, the Alliance currently provides an array of services to people living with HIV/AIDS in an eleven-county region. These services include medical and non-medical case management, pastoral counseling, nutritional counseling and a food pantry, prevention, testing and education.
