KALAMAZOO-
Community AIDS Resource and Education Services, a southwest Michigan organization that seeks to minimize the effects of HIV/AIDS on the community, appointed a longtime staffer as its new executive director.
David Feaster most recently served as CARES' director of client services, and was a one-time member of the board of directors before joining the organization as a medical case manager in 2001.
"We are thrilled to have someone of David's caliber poised to lead CARES," Board President Richard Piet said. "Budgets, stigma and disease spread being what they are, our work is cut out for us – and David is a leader ready to help CARES advance."
CARES serves clients in 11 southwest Michigan counties with guidance on maintaining healthy lives while living HIV-positive. The organization also employs various targeted education programs to help minimize its spread.
CARES was established 26 years ago in Kalamazoo. More information is available at http://www.caresswm.org.
