LINDA WARREN

Linda J. Warren graduated from Saint Thomas University with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Sociology and has worked in the field of Public Health for more than 20 years. She received her HIV/AIDS Certification as an educator, counselor, and tester from the Department of Health’s Bureau of HIV/AIDS in Tallahassee, and works as a training consultant for Palm Beach County Health Department. She delivers HIV/AIDS prevention education and collaborates with other agencies to ensure that the community residents are aware of the deadliness that Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), Tuberculosis (TB), and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) pose to people of color, especially black women. Warren’s achievements include coalition building and strategic planning with members of the medical and mental health communities, faith-based organizations, public schools and institutions of higher learning, social services agencies, sorority/fraternal groups and correctional institutions. She has worked with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) by collecting and providing statistical data needed to determine the severity of the epidemic and to identify communities of needs. One of her data-collection efforts supported a Prenatal Study (1984–1996) that analyzed the affects of HIV infection on women and their lifestyle during pregnancy. She is the founder of Slam Dunk Project, an initiative established to help community youth develop their life worth, and a member of the Palm Beach County Community Planning Partnership (CPP), the Florida Minority HIV/AIDS Network, and New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church. Warren is the recipient of the 2008 Red Ribbon (We Make the Change) Award, a recognition presented by the Bureau of HIV/AIDS and AIDS Institute each year to an individual or organization for displaying extraordinary efforts in prevention and educational services. In May 2011, she was selected as one of five honorees to receive a Humanitarian Award at Sigma Gamma Chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.’s Annual Rhomania.
