The Michigan AIDS Fund has appointed David Coulter as Interim Executive Director, following the departure of former Executive Director Stacey Barbas. Coulter has worked as a consultant with the Michigan AIDS Fund since 2004 in fund development, grant writing and communications, and last year was hired as the organization's first Director of Public Policy.
"Dave Coulter knows our work and the challenges of fighting the AIDS epidemic today, and we're confident he'll provide a smooth transition for the people we serve. And, his political experience will serve us well in developing strategies to increase awareness of the disease and the need for sound public policy around issues of HIV," said Wendy Lawson, Chair of the Michigan AIDS Fund Board of Trustees.
Coulter is serving his third two-year term as an Oakland County Commissioner. Coulter served 13 years in the Public Affairs department of Detroit-based Michigan Consolidated Gas Company (MichCon), where he managed media relations, public relations and communications.
