Craig Thompson, Executive Director of AIDS Project Los Angeles, commented on Leslie’s service to the organization this way, “The APLA Board of Directors knew that our organization needed to lead the change but they didn’t know how to do it. Wisely they asked…Leslie to “volunteer” to lead a comprehensive strategic planning process. And did she! Relying on staff and Board expertise where it was available and outside experts where it was not, Leslie chaired an 18-month process that literally transformed our agency, Los Angeles County and services for people with HIV/AIDS across the country.”
