Project Transitions Welcomes Josh Allen, Executive Director

Project Transitions welcomes new Executive Director Josh Allen. Josh comes to us with more than 15 years’ experience at the cross roads of communications, public policy and management. For the past 5 years, he has served as executive director of 6ixth Street Austin, guiding the organizational development of the property and business owner association for the Historic Sixth Street Entertainment District. As a public affairs consultant, he has helped clients communicate with their community, constituents, funders, news media and government.

Josh’s desire is to build on Project Transitions’ mission to provide hospice, housing and support for people living with HIV/AIDS through strengthened relationships within our community, supporters, staff and residents.

With a diverse public-service background in local, state and federal governments, along with the news media, nonprofits and political campaigns, Josh has earned a national Telly Award and induction into Leadership Austin. He has served as co-chair of the local Austin HRC Gala, is the current president of the Downtown Austin Neighborhood Association and, just for kicks, teaches fitness classes.

He holds a bachelor’s degree in political science and journalism from Texas Tech and a master’s degree from the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin.

Join us in welcoming Josh at the “Powell Street Galleries Revisited” art show Saturday, April 21 or at one of our other coming events.

Bike Curious is in training mode for the Hill Country Ride for AIDS!

Project Transitions’ Hill Country Ride for AIDS bike team (now also open to runners) is back on the road! Last year “Bike Curious” raised over $5,000 for the Ride and this year we hope to double that. We invite you to join us in this truly rewarding and fun experience. The funds raised are distributed among ten different HIV/AIDS related organizations to help provide much needed services to people living with HIV/AIDS. Project Transitions is proud to be one of the beneficiaries of this ride. This year, the Hill Country Ride has added a running component offering a 5k, 10k, 1/2 marathon and a duathalon, in case biking isn’t your thing. This event is not a race and is open to people of all ages and abilities.

Participation in the Hill Country Ride will impact the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS in a greatly profound way. For this reason alone, participation is totally worth the effort. But, as an added bonus, there are also personal benefits to participating in the event! These include, but are not limited to: The confidence that comes with setting a goal and achieving said goal; the praise that your doctor will bestow upon you for participating in a healthy and active life style; The compliments that are sure to come with the impending loss of weight and new muscle tone; and the camaraderie associated with being an active member of your community.

Help Project Transitions make this the best Hill Country Ride for AIDS yet!

Sign up here to join Project Transitions Team Bike Curious!
