About the Summit

NBCC’s Annual Advocate Summit is held in late April or May each year for three days, followed by our annual NBCC Lobby Day on Capitol Hill. The Summit is geared toward advocates of all experience levels. It is NBCC’s national meeting of breast cancer advocates from around the world. There are sessions on the latest scientific research, training in effective advocacy strategies, and presentations by respected researchers in the field, grassroots leaders from around the country, and prominent public policy experts. The Summit also involves advocates in the work to achieve Breast Cancer Deadline 2020 - NBCC's strategic plan to end breast cancer by January 1, 2020.

Having received a breast cancer vaccine in 2009, I am very proud of the progress being made by Artemis Project and totally believe we can actually PREVENT breast cancer by 2020 or sooner!
