September means the start of fall, a return to cooler weather, students returning to school, and in Washington, DC, it means that Congress is returning from their summer recess.

That is why September is a great time to host the next installment of the Legislative Action Network (LAN) Advocacy Rounds. Please join us on Tuesday September 28 at 2pm for our Advocacy Rounds: A Federal Focus, to learn more about how advocates like you can get involved and make your voice heard with your members of Congress on issues relating to cancer care access, equity, childhood cancer, research, quality of life and survivorship. To join the Advocacy Rounds, Zoom Webinar, please register in advance by clicking here.

While I am new to Dana-Farber, the federal issues that we will cover during the LAN Advocacy Rounds are issues that I know well and that I am passionate about. I am very much looking forward to seeing our advocates virtually on September 28 to learn more about the LAN federal advocacy priority areas.
