James E. Green

I have been in public health for thirty plus years in the St. Louis region.  I have served my community in various capacities through the years i.e., educator, counselor, mentor, coach, health advocate among others.  I was born in Mississippi on a plantation, raised by a single mother in public housing, lived in a depressed urban community, received a public education and this life experience has given me the “why” for the work that I do unapologetically for Black people.

Warren D. Holloman, Jr.

I am a native St. Louisan who has spent more than twenty years in public transit.  I am a graduate of Gateway Technical High School here in the City of St. Louis.  My involvement in public health started when I was a youth participant in a behavioral HIV prevention program.  I worked for several years as a HIV outreach specialist and became a member of the board of directors in 2012.

Theodore Higginbotham

I have been a board member for more than ten years.  In the early years I volunteered for special events and supported projects that addressed the many unique issues that Black men face.  I have been an independent business owner for thirty years and I am committed to serving my community.

Morris Lewis, Jr.

I am a founding board member and from day one I have been dedicated to improving the health of the Black community.  My commitment for service began with my military experience and my deep involvement with the faith-based community.  I am co-founder of St. Louis African American Pride, an organization which seeks to serve the African American community by providing tangible and needed resources.

Willie (Wil) Strayhorn, Jr.

My early years were spent aboard as I was from a military family. Most of my adult life I have lived in St. Louis.  People who meet me always get the impression that I am a friendly guy who loves to meet people, help them, and talk, which is the truth.  I recently retired from a manufacturing job of forty-two years.  I have been involved in the community in various roles i.e., from youth basketball coach to being a founding board member of the St. Louis Black Gay and Lesbian Pride Committee, Inc. I am also a founding board of directors member of Williams and Associates.
