Join us tomorrow for a #SaveRareCancerResearch toolkit presentation by ACE member Dana Deighton. If you're an cancer advocate but not already a member of ACE, we'd love to have you - learn more at advocatecollaborative.org

Fabulous conversation today around advocacy expertise and compensation in our monthly meeting! Excited to gather additional perspectives and share those insights to strengthen the role of patient advocacy across community, research, industry, and policy work.

Patient advocates are generally underutilized in research and definitely under compensated - this will be a topic of discussion and exploration in our next general meeting on September 11th 10amPT/1pmET - invites should be in your inboxes!

DYK when you google Medical Aid in Dying or Death with Dignity, the first search item that pops up is the National Suicide Hotline?
Please join us today for an ACE conversation with advocate @amjohnston.bsky.social about what Medical Aid in Dying really involves & why it exists #CanSky #PallOnc

REMINDER: ACE Meeting on cancer vaccines today 1pmPT / 4pmET. Join us to hear from advocate & ACE member Judy Fitzgerald as she shares her experience as an advocate on current vaccine trials.

Wonderful to kick off the new year by reconnecting with some of our advocates to discuss the evolution of the organization, upcoming presentations, and continued needs across patient, research, and policy advocacy.
