"I worked closely with Ms. Howard for approximately 2.5 years. I have experienced her wonderful work ethic, her ability to adapt to any environment and handle any situation whether she had the experience and skills to address the situation or not. In the field of HIV/AIDS prevention, Ms. Howard has been a longtime advocate and educator, especially in minority communities that have been adversely affected by this virus.  She has coordinated and hosted several community events, reaching out to youth and adults on safe sex and prevention practices, and provided mobile testing units.  Ms. Howard has developed her grant writing skills and worked to increase funding for her program, which allows for more community outreach and services."
