CT Breast Cancer Coalition & Foundation Board Members Attend National Meeting
CBCCF Board Members, Leslie Handelman, Diane Walczok and Denise Mericonda attended the 2009 NBCC Advocacy Training Conference in Washington DC May 2-5. Over 800 breast cancer advocates came from across North America to hear the latest news in breast cancer science, research and policy, hone advocacy skills, and share solutions to the tough challenges we all face in advancing the mission of eradicating breast cancer. Advocates had the opportunity to spend an entire day on Capitol Hill conducting and participating in more than 400 meetings with members of Congress and congressional staff! Activists from nearly every state and the District of Columbia presented, discussed and then pressed their Senators and Representatives to support and become an advocate for the NBCC legislative and public policy agenda.
