HISTORY

The National Working Positive Coalition (NWPC) grew out of the Working Positive Summit Conference in Philadelphia in April 2003. The Conference goal was to share information about evidence-based and experience-based best practices in employment services for people living with HIV/AIDS. A group of conference participants, including many of the country's service providers, researchers and educators in the field of HIV and employment, committed to continuing work together as a national organization, which led to the founding of the National Working Positive Coalition (NWPC).
