There was much that was outstanding about our two days together – the people we met, the discussions we had, etc. What stood out for me, however, was how every logistical detail was planned and executed perfectly. Thank each of you for your input, your great ideas, your conversation and your friendly involvement during our time together this week. I enjoyed meeting each of you. As I depart this 'City of Brotherly Love', I reflect that I have met many wonderful new brothers and sisters during my time here. We are creatinga family ~ a family of CABs bonded together by shared initiative and motivated by the common dream of changing the landscape of HIV. Thank you again for your many contributions and your continued commitment. What ParticipantS SAID AFTER THEY LEFT… I couldn’t wait to follow-up with you re: my experience at the CROSS CFAR CAB. It was absolutely worthwhile and wonderful from beginning to end. This collective forum gave us an opportunity to establish a network of support with existing and developing CABs across the county. We quickly realized that we shared many commonalities re: strengths and challenges and our respective differences created stimulating and supportive dialogue among us. We quickly embraced while there are some fundamental similar tenets embodied by all of the CABs, there isn’t a “one size fits all” model. I’m looking forward to being an active participant in this dynamic exchange as we continue to move forward individually and corporately in advancing the HIV research agenda with a vital emphasis on community support, as evident by our many discussions and activities. Again, thank you, thank you, thank you for extending the honor and privilege to represent the UNC CFAR CAB. It was truly an amazing experience and I’m grateful.
