<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Please note I have decided to concentrate on my health and wellness over the next few months. Subsequently, I will be taking a short term leave as per the attached announcement. As the duration of the leave
is unclear at this point the board has appointed Robert Alexander as interim Executive Director in the short term. Robert brings a wealth of knowledge and skills within the area of community-based HIV including experience as an executive director of AIDS
Service Organizations. Many already know Rob from his previous affiliations and I am happy to see him support Bruce House during my leave. I would like to thank the AIDS Committee of Ottawa for granting Rob a temporary leave of absence.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
