Shifting sands: An AIDS service organization adapts to a changing environment

This paper focuses on effects of the changing HIV/AIDS environment on AIDS service organizations (ASOs). The need for ASOs remains strong; however, in anticipation of reduced public support and funding for community services, strategies for organizational survival are needed. The policy and funding background of shifting priorities in the HIV/AIDS epidemic are presented as well as a case study describing an organizational change process that was used in response to an anticipated threat to organizational survival.
