2013 Honoring the Red Ribbon Award
July 21, 2013 - NNAAPC is officially soliciting nominations for the 2013 Honoring the Red Ribbon Award. This award honors the memory of Marty Lynn Prairie (1958-2001) (Lakota), who tirelessly gave of his time, talent, and spirit to combat HIV and AIDS in Native communities. Marty was a long time friend and ally of NNAAPC who, through his commitment to HIV/AIDS education and prevention in Indian Country and throughout the Unites States, became a well-known HIV and Harm Reduction advocate. Like Marty, there are Native professionals dedicated to HIV/AIDS prevention and demonstrate outstanding leadership - on the local level, on the Tribal level, on the state level and/or nationally. We need to acknowledge and honor these leaders. Take a moment and ask yourself, "Who has made a difference?"
