2006 Pro Bono Publico Award Nomination Form

February 21, 2007

Dear Friend,

     AIDSLaw of Louisiana asks for your nominations for the 2006-2007 PRO BONO PUBLICO and TERI ESTRADA MEMORIAL AWARDS. The recipients will be selected by the AIDSLaw board of directors and the awards presented at a ceremony on June 29, 2007 in the Main Lobby of CapitalOne Bank, 313 Carondelet Street in New Orleans. Nominations must be received no later than April 4, 2007. A list of people honored in past years is provided below. (No awards were given for 2005 due to the storm).

     The PRO BONO PUBLICO awards, created in 1995 as the highest honor for recognizing service to AIDSLaw and people living with HIV and AIDS in Louisiana, are presented annually to individuals whose dedication and unstinting devotion of time and energy to the HIV and AIDS community have advanced the legal rights of those affected by the virus. Past recipients have been founding AIDSLaw board members, attorneys from across Louisiana, and other dedicated volunteers. The TERI ESTRADA MEMORIAL award is a community service award recognizing individuals who are committed to improving the lives of those affected by HIV and AIDS. Created by the AIDSLaw board in 1997, the award honors Teri Estrada, an ALL staff attorney, whose relentlessly hopeful attitude and undying spirit are an inspiration to everyone involved in the fight against the AIDS virus. Teri always felt that as a person living with AIDS she understood what her clients were going through and what they needed. She continued her work on the front lines until she died from AIDS in 1994.

     Nominations should be sent to AIDSLaw of Louisiana, Attention: Linton Carney, PO Box 30203, New Orleans, LA 70190, or to aidslaw@bellsouth.net. For more information, please call the ALL office at 568-1631 or 1-800-375-5035.
