Advocacy Committee
ICC Goal: Advocate for cancer-related policy initiatives
Advocacy is action directed toward influencing the way the public and policymakers at all levels think and act regarding a given issue. An advocate is anyone who participates in the process of influencing policy. By informing and educating the public and policymakers, cancer control advocates can positively influence the laws, regulations, and rules that impact the experience of cancer from prevention through palliation.
