On Monday, Charles River Media Group filmed Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick as he met with AIDS Vaccine 2012 conference organizers at the State House in Boston. This shoot is part of a larger project advertising next year’s AIDS Vaccine conference which is one of the largest in the world. The 2011 conference is being held in Bangkok, Thailand and this video headed by Bruce is being shown at the conference. The 2012 conference in Boston is expected to attract more than 1,000 researchers, clinicians, and community advocates from around the world.

The Governor and his staff were very generous with his time and we discovered that one of his Communications Aide in attendance was a former student of Don’s from Tufts University.

AIDS Vaccine 2012 conference organizers, Lindsey Robert Baden, M.D., Associate Professor of Medicine (BWH), Dan H. Barouch, M.D., Ph.D., Associate Professor of Medicine (BIDMC) and Galit Alter, Ph.D., Assistant Professor in Medicine (HMS) met with the Governor. CRMG members included Don Schechter, Bruce Petschek, Cody Signore, and intern Hillary.
