Cynthia knows how to bring people and complex organizations together for a greater good. In working with her, I saw first hand how she created opportunities for people to grow and make the most out of their lives; she made HIV education, testing and prevention services available, culturally competent for thousands of people who needed it; and she taught me (a white girl from the mountains of Colorado) about race relations around the time of the riots, the needs of urban residents, and an awful lot about how to get the excellent public health services to people who need them most.
