Kevin Brown PWA Hero Award

Innovative Programs and Services
Acknowledges AIDS-specific or related programs or services which demonstrate a unique, progressive and/or creative approach to assisting people affected by HIV/AIDS.

Media Award
Recognizes individuals, groups, or institutions associated with the media whose efforts have positively impacted the AIDS community through increasing awareness and/or improving social attitudes around AIDS and persons living with HIV/AIDS. Contributions in this category may include single or ongoing initiatives in the areas of print, broadcast, or electronic media.
Health Promotion and Harm Reduction
Recognizes achievements in two areas. Health Promotion initiatives typically enable people to increase control over and improve their health through strategies which develop personal skills and supportive environments, strengthen community action, create public policy and reorient health services. Harm Reduction is a pragmatic and humanistic approach to diminishing the individual and social harms associated with drug and/or alcohol use.
Other
In addition to the established seven areas of achievement for AccolAIDS Awards, the Advisory Committee has the option of creating one additional category, which may change from year to year, to recognize the unique contributions of an individual, organization, group, institution or business from among the list of candidates nominated in one of the other categories listed or under "other" if the existing Areas of Achievement do not apply.
