Sean Strub
Strub has 30 years experience in corporate social responsibility and social change activism as well as private enterprise. His AIDS activism began in 1981 when he started collecting information about the emerging epidemic and shared it with friends. In the late 1980s he launched a treatment newsletter and, in 1994, he founded the ground-breaking POZ Magazine an award-winning publication and website (poz.com) for people affected by HIV.
Strub’s AIDS activism has also included theatrical and event production (Strub produced The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me, an Obie-award winning Off-Broadway hit and numerous large-scale AIDS benefit events), serving as fundraising co-chair for ACT UP/NY and running for public office, in 1990 when he ran for the US Congress from New York’s 22nd Congressional District. Strub was the first openly HIV-positive person to run for federal office.
