George W. Bush Presidential Library Tour and Museum

The ANAC Public Service Award was bestowed upon President George W. Bush for his vision and leadership in establishing and championing the PEPFAR program. Since its inception in 2003, the President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) has provided lifesaving treatment to 11.5 million people living with HIV in more than 100 countries. ANAC nurses have worked in PEPFAR programs and we gratefully acknowledge the President’s commitment to compassionate care for people living with HIV. View the photos here.

Attendees were able to walk through the ANAC 30th Anniversary display featuring large-scale timelines from the last 30+ years of HIV/AIDS and display cases filled with publications, photos and other memorabilia. ANAC is celebrating its 30th anniversary throughout 2018.

Big kudos to the Dallas Chapter for hosting a fantastic gala. The theme was a country and western hoedown with line dancing and barbecue. A great time was had by all! View the photos here.

Celebration of Life

The Celebration of Life is a gathering held each year to remember those we have lost and share memories of friends and family. The Turtle Creek Chorale from Dallas provided an a cappella musical program. The Turtle Creek Chorale is primarily a gay men’s chorus, they welcome all men, and those that identify as male, regardless of sexual orientation.
