Each year, 40,000 people become newly infected with HIV in the US. People with AIDS are living up to ten years longer. New priorities must be made on how to best take care of those in need.

The Inland Empire HIV Planning Council serves as the policy making body for HIV / AIDS Care and Treatment in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. We prioritize and allocate about $7 million each year. We are seeking willing citizen members to provide input and join in the process.

The Inland Empire HIV Planning Council would like to announce its 2008 Priority Setting and Allocations Summit, to be held July 30 -31, and August 1, 2008 in Riverside

This summit is a critical part of the Planning Council's responsibilities, where we will consider all the relevant data required to determine the necessary priority of services needed to address the impact of HIV / AIDS in San Bernardino and Riverside Counties.

Community Input is vital and always welcome. There will be Public Comment periods during the summit to allow individuals to discuss obstacles, challenges, shortages, or any other experience or knowledge they may have as it relates to the service categories. Information from the Public Comments will help the Planning Council in its decision making process for settling service priorities, allocated funding to identified needs, and creating directives for the Grantee on how best to meet the needs of those affected by HIV / AIDS. Join us at the:

Priority Setting and Allocations Summit 2008
