I would like to begin to say that this was the first Summit that I attended and it was amazing. The workshop that I found most useful (connected with the most with) was called, “Beyond the Myth: New Media Use and Communities of Color”. In this workshop I learned that it is very important to be up to date or current with media resources. The “KNOWIT” campaign was introduced and I thought this is a brilliant idea. The “KNOWIT” campaign promotes the use of cell phone to identify HIV local testing sights in the vicinity of the zip desired. What a novel idea!!!! One places the word KNOWIT – 566948 in the send part of the text and in the body of the text message one types in the zip code desired, the text is sent. Instantaneously one will receive the testing site in the nearest location. THAT IS FANTASTIC!!!! Immediately I thought I can take this information and apply it to my HIV health and awareness presentations. I serve as a HIV/AIDS Health Educator serving the Colleges/Universities communities in New York City and the state of New Jersey. Most college students own cell phones, and I thought why not incorporate this new media technique in spreading awareness? The Tuesday following The Leadership Summit, I implemented the “KNOWIT” campaign and found that the students were energized by this concept. There was a massive wave of students’ texting the desire zip code and instantaneously receiving local testing sites. You guys ROCK!!! Words can’t express how grateful my students and I are for this media resource idea. Thanks for this information.

A good thing to organize a workshop like this.
