NEW YORK, New York. – Earlier this month, the office of President Bill Clinton invited Ulrick Gaillard, founder/CEO of the Batey Relief Alliance (BRA) to become member of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)—a community of international leaders committed to identifying groundbreaking solutions that reduce poverty, improve the environment, and increase access to health care and education around the world.
Throughout the year, CGI helps companies, nonprofits, and governmental organizations build partnerships that match cutting edge ideas with the resources needed to create real change. The CGI community is driven by a common belief that by “working together, we can do more.” CGI members have launched nearly 2,000 projects, improving the lives of 300 million people in more than 170 countries.
Membership culminates in CGI’s Annual Meeting, an invitation-only event for top leaders from around the world, which will be held in New York September 19 – 22, 2011. Since 2005, CGI’s Annual Meetings have convened nearly 150 current and former heads of State, along with 15 Nobel Peace Prize winners and hundreds of top CEOs. Nearly 1,000 journalists cover CGI’s Annual Meetings, as the events recognize the progress that CGI’s members have achieved.
In 2005, BRA partnered with the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative, along with USAID and the Dominican Ministry of Health to deliver critical health and antiretroviral treatment to vulnerable people living with HIV/AIDS inside vulnerable batey communities of the Dominican Republic.
