To effectively translate state concerns regarding HIV care,
treatment and prevention programs into sound federal policy, NASTAD applies a
multi-layered strategy of communication with executive and legislative branches
of the federal and state governments. NASTAD staff members work directly with
Members of Congress and their staffs to develop legislative strategies
pertaining to both annual appropriations and authorization legislation. NASTAD
also plays a key role in shaping AIDS policy through work as a member of the
National Organizations Responding to AIDS (NORA) Coalition.
