In addition\, she previously served as the Chair of the Florida AIDS Advisory Group.  \nIn her multiple roles\, Ms. Lemoine has incorporated several high-impact strategies that were highly effective in reaching high-risk populations such as Hispanic/Latino and Haitian populations and other minorities.
