Stop AIDS Names Stiles as Interim Executive Director

While it continues its national search for a permanent leader, San Francisco's Stop AIDS Project has named B.J. Stiles its interim executive director. In 1987, Stiles founded the National Leadership Coalition on AIDS; he managed its successful merger with the National AIDS Fund in 1996. He served as interim executive director of the AIDS Emergency Fund/Breast Cancer Emergency Fund for more than a year, ending in late 2002. Most recently, Stiles was interim executive director of Operation Access, a non-profit that provides free outpatient surgery to uninsured persons in six Bay Area counties. Prior to his work on HIV/AIDS, he held leadership positions at the Urban Institute, the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial, the Council on Foundations and the National Endowment for the Humanities. Stiles has agreed to lead SAP until the selection of a permanent executive director, which is expected in early 2005.
