A new executive director stepped in at AIDS Project New Haven in May 2008. Christopher Cole, who recently moved to Connecticut from Los Angeles, has spent the past fifteen years raising millions of dollars for AIDS Service Organizations throughout the country.
“I am thrilled to be in New Haven, leading a community-based AIDS Service organization and continuing to serve those infected and affected by HIV and AIDS as well as increase awareness,” Cole said. “I am HIV positive myself and after spending fifteen years traveling around the country, and most recently splitting my time between San Francisco and Los Angeles leading AIDS/LifeCycle, it’s time to settle down, focus on my health and continue to use my passion and personal experience to serve those living with HIV and AIDS and increase awareness, education and prevention.”
Cole took over for Ellen Gabrielle, who retired after leading the organization and serving the community over the past 12 years. Gabrielle, who was among the first Dorothy Award winners said, “Chris’ track record and passion leave her relieved she is leaving the agency in good hands.”
