NBCC’s education and training programs teach breast cancer activists the public policy and research-focused approach to advocacy that NBCC has pioneered. In 2012, The Center for NBCC Advocacy Training will work to engage as many advocates as possible by supplementing its in-person trainings—the Advocate Summit and the Project LEAD® Institute—with an array of online talks, presentations, and webinars. These free and broad offerings will teach breast cancer science, research-focused advocacy and public policy while maintaining the high standards of excellence that NBCC has pioneered. As NBCC works to challenge business as usual and change the conversation to end this disease by January 1, 2020, the Center for NBCC Advocacy Training will transform itself as well to meet the new educational requirements that this goal demands.
Check back often for the latest information regarding online talks, presentations, and webinars that will provide breast cancer activists of all levels and interests, the tools and information to help achieve the mission of Breast Cancer Deadline 2020®.
