Cancer Council Leadership
The Cancer Council is led by a Leadership Team with an Executive Committee, a Steering Committee, and representation from our national partners: CDC’s Division of Cancer Prevention and Control and the National Cancer Institute.
The Leadership Team is a collective voice for change, inspiring strategic action for cancer prevention and control. The team promotes communication and action within the Cancer Council community.
