President

Join us in Shaping the Future of Global Health

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) works to deliver a comprehensive response to fighting pediatric HIV and AIDS through frontline service delivery, community-level health system strengthening, global advocacy, and growing the capacity of governments and civil sectors in the world’s most affected regions. Children and mothers are at the center of all our work and we are committed to a world where no mother, child, or family is devastated by this disease. Our mission is driven by innovation, collaboration, and the creation of sustainable solutions that transform health outcomes worldwide.

Since its inception, EGPAF has been at the forefront of significant progress globally in the fight against pediatric HIV/AIDS. What began in 1988 with three mothers who came together to advocate for children forgotten during the early years of the AIDS crisis has evolved into the leading HIV/AIDS advocate for children and mothers worldwide. Our history is one of agile pivots to best address the needs of children and their families in the most immediate and impactful way. Today, our activities reach children of all ages, from infants to adolescents, as well as women, men, and their families, especially in Africa.

Progress is evident with a nearly 60% decline in new infections in children worldwide since 2000. And yet, there is more to do: children have disparately low treatment coverage rates compared to adults, and only a handful of countries have reached milestones for elimination of mother-to-child transmission of HIV, syphilis, and hepatitis B. Many opportunities and challenges remain to deliver models of child and family-focused care within broader health programs. We are committed to acting with urgency.

In recognition of the changing needs of the HIV epidemic, EGPAF is entering an exciting next chapter, partnering with Population Services International (PSI) to form HealthX Partners. This groundbreaking collaboration will retain the identities of both EGPAF and PSI while harnessing the strength and expertise of both organizations, helping us to better serve our respective communities while integrating key functions of both organizations. Our shared goal is to continue to shift decision-making and authority closer to the communities which we serve.

The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation is seeking a President to lead EGPAF in this new era. If you are passionate about impacting the lives of children, driving global health initiatives, working in a creative and collaborative manner, and eager to lead a dedicated team, we invite you to join us on this transformative journey.
