Vermont C.A.R.E.S. Executive Director Kate Hill Paul Olsen The Vermont Committee for AIDS Resources, Education & Services (C.A.R.E.S.) recently announced the appointment of Kate Hill as its new Executive Director. Kate’s entrance into the world of AIDS activism began in 1986 when she learned that her eldest gay son, Q‘ Walter I. Zeichner, M.A., N.C.C., Christopher, was HIV positive. After the death of 28 year old Chris in 1990, Kate went public with her story in an attempt to educate the public about HIV and AIDS. Described by C.A.R.E.S. Board Member Nancy Cathcart as a “peace maker”, Kate's experience as a C.A.R.E.S. volunteer, HIV/AIDS educator for the American Red Cross, and mother of Chris uniquely qualify for her new role as Executive Director. In an attempt to meet the increasing needs of the four counties served by C.A.R.E.S., Kate’s goals include increasing staff, establishing satellite offices, expansion of services, and the creation of a development program to raise money. Additionally, as AIDS becomes a “mainstream” problem, Kate is committed to maintaining the history of C.A.R.E.S. as an organization founded by the gay community for people with HIV and AIDS in Vermont. Working with a dedicated staff, many volunteers, and the board of directors, Kate Hill promises to bring new energy, focus, and direction to Vermont C.A.R.E.S. Her honesty, compassion, reputation and commitment to fighting HIV and AIDS indicate that she’ll succeed.
