#ThrowbackThursday

On August 13, 2026, community leaders, advocates, service providers, and partners gathered for the inaugural Houston Think Tank Initiative’s Ecosystem Gathering, a purpose filled day of honest conversation, shared learning, and collective strategy.

Together, we explored funding alignment, identified community priorities, and began creating a collective plan to better serve people living with HIV and those for whom HIV is possible. The gathering strengthened relationships across Houston’s HIV ecosystem and reaffirmed our shared commitment to building a more connected, equitable, and sustainable network of support.

We left the room reminded that meaningful change requires all of us...and that collective care must remain at the center of how we move forward.

Save the Date - November 13th - 2nd Houston Think Tank Initiative’s Ecosystem Gathering - YOUR VOICE IS VALUED!

Today's Meet the CPG Board spotlight is on Ashley Barnes, Action Chair.

Ideas are important but action is what creates change. And that's exactly what Ashley brings to the table.

As the Associate Director of Public Health for Texas and Tennessee with AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF), Ashley has dedicated her career to turning strategy into service. From expanding access to HIV and STI testing to strengthening PrEP, prevention education, linkage to care, and community partnerships, her work is rooted in one goal: making quality healthcare more accessible for everyone.

As CPG's Action Chair, Ashley helps transform conversations into meaningful community impact. Because a plan is only as powerful as the action behind it—and Ashley is committed to making sure our work moves beyond meetings and into the communities we serve.

Please join us in celebrating Ashley Barnes and thanking her for her leadership, passion, and commitment to advancing health equity across Houston.

Powered by the people. Produced for our people. Prevention with purpose.
