Executive Team Helps Launch Outreach Program
To launch the CBCRP's first marketing outreach program, a Community Partners Program was established to provide a forum for public support and education about the CBCRP.
At the helm of the Community Partner program you will find a group of accomplished leaders from business, science, medicine, community and civic groups, who serve on the Executive Team under the stellar leadership of Sherry Lansing, UC Regent and Chairman, and CEO of Paramount Pictures. Our Executive Team will spearhead fundraising and outreach efforts over the next year, and we are truly grateful for their commitment to action.
The CBCRP extends heartfelt thanks to the Executive Team for their unsurpassed creative talents and know-how participation—and for their unwavering commitment to support breast cancer research on behalf of the people of California. Kudos to all:
