Training Goal and Description

The goal of this training is to increase leadership and creativity among mid- and senior-level managers in Asian & Pacific Islander (A&PI) community-based organizations across the nation and the Pacific region, so that participants can better address issues of resource planning and management in their HIV prevention programs.

This training will build leadership skills and then utilize these skills to train participants in increasing the efficiency of HIV prevention programs. Participants will take part in interactive small group exercises, and will learn by arriving at their own insights.

Target Audience

The target audience is HIV prevention program management and supervisors across the United States and the Pacific Island Jurisdictions working with A&PIs who are interested in learning and sharing their knowledge on how they manage limited resources and continue to provide HIV prevention programs with reduced funding.  

Additionally, the following target audiences have been prioritized and include:

1. Managers/Supervisors from organizations who receive CDC funds to conduct HIV prevention programs specifically for A&PI communities through their health department or a subcontract through another CDC-funded community-based organization, including A&PI people living with HIV/AIDS
2. Mangers/Supervisors from non-CDC funded organizations who are conducting HIV prevention interventions in A&PI communities, including A&PI people living with HIV/AIDS
3. Managers/Supervisors from other organizations working on HIV-related issues (such as sexually transmitted diseases, domestic violence, family planning, teen pregnancy) in A&PI communities who have an interest in doing HIV prevention work, including A&PI people living with HIV/AIDS

Space is limited due to funding constraints.
