Executive Director -- Carole
Sturgis
Carole was one of the individuals who
helped organize OARS in 1992, and she has acted as the Executive
Director ever since. When she and her partner moved to Arkansas in
1989 there was very little being done to assist those who were HIV
positive or had AIDS.
Having worked with the AIDS
organization in Washington, DC, she knew the advantages of having a
coordinated effort, and OARS has been "up and running" ever since.
Carole received her Master's Degree
from the University of Maryland and continued working toward her
Doctorate there . . . she says she still might get it if she ever
finds the time, and then she laughs! Her art work is seen in many
collections and galleries, and one of her Ukrainian Eggs that was
exhibited at the White House is now at the Smithsonian Institution.
You can view her jewelry on her web site:
www.carolesturgis.com.
She's been known to sing a tune or two. She was selected as one of
the ten most admired women in Carroll County. When you don't find
her behind a computer or petting her critters, you might find her in
her art studio.
