Craig McClure has made important contributions to the fight against HIV/AIDS. His involvement began at the grassroots level, but his capacity for leadership led him to take on roles of increasing importance in numerous organizations. As the executive director of the International AIDS Society, he rallied the globe to expand access to treatment; later on, at UNICEF, he spearheaded programs aimed at eliminating mother-to-child HIV transmission. His compassion and commitment serve as an inspiration for a new generation of activists.
