New York, NY — On April 28, 2016, Guillermo Chacón, President of the Latino Commission on AIDS, received the “Community Leadership Award” at the SI SE PUEDE: Social Workers United for Latino Advancement National Conference in New York City.
The following is a statement from Jacquelyn Kilmer, Esq., CEO of Harlem United:
“For decades Guillermo Chacón has been a tireless, passionate, and fierce advocate for Latino populations affected by HIV and AIDS. On behalf of Harlem United, I want to congratulate him on receiving the Community Leadership Award. Like Harlem United’s health center in East Harlem, El Faro, which means “Light House,” Guillermo has been a beacon of light and hope for communities who remain disproportionately affected by HIV and AIDS. We are inspired by his lifetime of leadership and service.”
