<p class="MsoNormal">Dear HIV/STD Prevention Partners,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to share the news that I will be leaving my position as HIV/STD Prevention and Surveillance Manager at the Oregon Health Authority later this spring. After seven and a half years with OHA, and sixteen years working in HIV/STD Prevention,
I’m ready for some new challenges and opportunities. My last day as program manager will be April 8, although I will continue to be available as a resource to assist in the transition.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Your points of contact for HIV and STD prevention/surveillance work remain the same (see the attached “Who to Contact” sheet). Prior to my last day in April, I will share additional information on interim management contacts for some of
the issues for which you’ve needed to contact me in the past (budgets, contracts, etc.).
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
I’ve had the real pleasure of working with an amazing group of individuals across the state who do the hard work day-in, and day-out, of serving individuals impacted by HIV and sexually transmitted infections and working to prevent new infections. I am incredibly
grateful for all I’ve learned from this community. Thank you for what you do and for being such wonderful colleagues.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Recruitment for a new HIV/STD Prevention & Surveillance Manager will begin this spring and the job posting will be shared through this list-serv when it goes live.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to either myself or our HIV/STD/TB Section Manager, Annick Benson (<a href="mailto:annick.benson@dhsoha.state.or.us">annick.benson@dhsoha.state.or.us</a>). <o:p></o:p></p>
