Board of directors

 

FORCE’s board of directors have been personally affected by hereditary cancer or cancer risk, or have a strong interest in reaching out to others whose families have been devastated by this disease.  Our board members are dedicated to helping the high-risk community deal with the issues which accompany this risk – cancer fears, medical issues, privacy issues, psychosocial issues, and family dynamics – by becoming involved in community forums; assisting with web site design and content; preparing position statements, press releases, and fact sheets; attending conferences; and assisting in outreach, advocacy, support, and fundraising.
