About RADAR
Mission: RADAR provides leadership by challenging and empowering Rotarians at the Club level to respond to the HIV and AIDS pandemic.
Approach: We work with community partners locally, nationally, and internationally, for the good of all people infected or affected by HIV and AIDS.
Our Start:
October 2003, the Rotary Club of
November 2003 District Governor Bill MacKay, in a call-to-action,
requested a measurable HIV and Aids operational plan be formulated.
This was completed for presentation by RADAR founder J. Ashley in
January 2004.
March 2004 District Governor 7070 Bill MacKay, Dr. James Orbinski, Stephen Lewis and Bill Carter 7080 endorsed RADAR as a Rotary grassroots vehicle to assist in the cause of addressing the Aids Pandemic from Communities to Continents
