The Organization ISC currently facilitates the Japan-America Student Conference (JASC), the oldest student-run cultural exchange between the US and Japan, beginning in 1934. In 2008 we expanded our programs to include the first Korea-America Student Conference (KASC). Our mission is to promote peace by furthering mutual understanding, friendship and trust through international student interchange. We believe cross-cultural interchange through student-run conferences has long-term value that contributes to a more peaceful world. Headquartered in Washington, DC, ISC is a tax-exempt non-profit governed by a 22-member board of directors. The organization’s budget is approximately $500,000 annually. Current staff includes a full-time Executive Director, two program managers, a part-time administrative assistant, and college interns. More information on ISC may be found at www.iscdc.org. Programs ISC programs provide an intense month-long experience in which 50-80 students, half from the U.S. and half from the partner country, live, travel, work, study, and relax together in a conference-like setting. ISC’s programs are entirely planned and administered by the students themselves. This ensures vitality and ongoing relevance among today’s promising youth, upon whom the world of tomorrow depends. The students host roundtables, field trips, seminars, and distinguished speakers. The goals are to understand each other better, form friendships, gain each others’ trust, and foster international peace during their lifetimes. Every ISC gathering is characterized by full and frank discussions, undertaken with a spirit of understanding each other’s point of view. At each program the delegates elect from their own members a student Executive Committee, which plans, implements and participates in the next year’s program. While the Student Executive Committees receive guidance and assistance from ISC in Washington, D.C., the International Education Center (IEC) in Tokyo and their respective Boards of Directors, students in the committees are independent in planning and managing the conferences. Many ISC alumni have gone on to distinguish themselves in business, academia and government. Notable among them are the late Kiichi Miyazawa, the former Prime Minister of Japan, who participated in the 1939 and 1940 JASC, and Henry Kissinger, the former U.S. Secretary of State, who participated in the 1951 JASC.

Originally established in 1972 in conjunction with the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, today the program primarily serves students from throughout North America as well as from other English speaking countries. AMHSI’s mission is to promote, build, and strengthen lifelong bonds between youth and Israel through experiential study of the history and culture of the people of Israel. AMHSI imbues each and every student with a distinctly educational, cultural and social experience specifically intended to enhance his or her outlook on Israel and Judaism. Students are instilled with the leadership and motivational skills that enable them to excel in higher education and beyond. Alexander Muss Institute for Israel Education is the official and legal name of the corporation. AMHSI remains the brand name more commonly known and more commonly used in normal day-to-day operations. AMHSI’s innovative program is recognized throughout the US and abroad for providing the ultimate in quality Israel educational programming by engaging students in an experiential way with the history and culture of Israel. Using Israel as a living classroom, AMHSI revolutionized the way 'Israel' is taught. The program has enabled tens of thousands of students to explore the Jewish State through this unique academic experience. The program provides intensive learning experiences for high school students that combine enlightening academic opportunities, touring the country, interacting with Israelis, and truly experiencing everything the land has to offer, so that students can fully understand Israel’s central importance to the Jewish people and its history. The centerpiece of AMHSI’s program offerings is the two-month Core Program. Part of the original vision and mission of AMHSI was to help teens better understand Israel’s living history through hands-on exploring and, where possible, to target youth and communities that may have fewer resources and opportunities for Jewish and Israel education and identity building. The Core Program remains the main program vehicle through which AMHSI seeks to fulfill this vision. The Core Program is a college preparatory program and is fully accredited – students receive full high school credit for their general studies, and are eligible for college credit. Since 1995, AMHSI has offered custom designed academic programs in Israel and Eastern Europe for Jewish day schools throughout North America. The day school program works with each school to create a meaningful, intensive and transformative Israel educational experience for its students. AMHSI also offers a range of programs for alumni, community groups, youth and adults. The AMHSI campus is located at the Mosenson Youth Village in Hod Ha’Sharon, a northern suburb of Tel Aviv. The Mosenson School, an international facility, educates Israeli students and has a boarding school for students from around the world. While AMHSI has its own dormitories and academic facilities, the relationship with Mosenson enables global peer-interaction among students. In February 2010, AMHSI broke ground for the first of three dormitories planned for a new resident program. This marks the first stage of an ambitious multi-campus expansion of AMHSI. AMHSI is non-denominational and pluralistic. AMHSI has a budget of approximately $7 million and a full time staff of 18 in the United States and 27 in Israel and a part-time staff in Israel that varies during the course of the year and can peak at around 50 people.

This CME program is also managed externally, with oversight by the VP. (3) PHA Online University (www.PHAOnlineUniv.org) an educational resource for healthcare professionals emphasizing the latest in the diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary hypertension.

Organization Overview Amigos de las Américas (AMIGOS) is an international, not-for-profit organization that provides unparalleled leadership and service opportunities for young people while concurrently contributing to the well being of communities throughout the Americas. More than 20,000 high school and college-age students have served as AMIGOS Volunteers since its founding in 1965. After completing an extensive training program, Volunteers live and work in Latin American host communities during the summer, conducting a wide array of health, education and environmental projects. Outstanding Volunteers can continue their personal growth by returning to Latin America as Project Staff. No other organization gives young adults such high-level management experience and responsibility. During 2009, 744 U.S. teenagers and young adults served as AMIGOS Volunteers and Project Staff in 260 host communities in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay. Their service activities were conducted in close collaboration with local youth and partner agencies. Headquartered in Houston, Texas, AMIGOS has an annual operating budget of $3.4M, with a staff of 20, a 27-member board, 28 chapters throughout the United States and an affiliated foundation. To obtain more information and view videos and publications, visit www.amigoslink.org. Current Circumstances The 43-year history of AMIGOS is a source of pride and celebration. Over the years, AMIGOS has changed the lives of thousands of young men and women, and their families and friends. It has inspired public service and devotion to community, it has built a lasting relationship with our Latin American neighbors and created a community of volunteers who are dedicated to this great cause, and it has provided transformative experiences in leadership and responsibility rarely available to young people. The power and integrity of these experiences explain the great loyalty felt by everyone who has been touched by this organization. The search for a new President is an ideal moment for AMIGOS to reflect on the great work it has accomplished, and to consider its future. AMIGOS has grown organically. A strong system of volunteer-led chapters recruit and screen Volunteer youth, raise funds, and elect the Board of Directors. A dedicated, relatively young staff (many of whom are AMIGOS alumni), and vigilant leadership from the President have brought the organization successfully through 43 annual cycles of recruiting, training, placing and guiding youth through the 6-8 week summer experience. Outgoing President Emily Untermeyer has served as chief executive officer for 12 years. She has provided devoted and effective service, and enjoys the universal support and respect of everyone associated with AMIGOS. Her decision to move on is motivated by her desire for another leadership challenge, and by the knowledge that AMIGOS is well managed, financially stable, and ready to adapt to new leadership. AMIGOS, in its current form, works. A combination of sweat equity from volunteers, a young and modestly compensated staff, a tightly budgeted funding formula, a vital network of organizations, communities and individual supporters in Latin America, and a system of controls and protocols which require the constant vigilance of the President has consistently produced a successful outcome. With the selection of a new President who has the right skills and values, we believe AMIGOS can be scaled up to be a broader, larger and greater enterprise. To do so will require expert growth and change management. A largely untapped reservoir of support and resources from an extensive network of alumni and followers will need to be generated. The Board that has provided general oversight, but has not been a strategic force nor active in fundraising, will need to evolve. A young and talented staff will require an investment in professional development in order to assume greater responsibilities and support growth, while maintaining effective program and risk management under exacting circumstances. The systems which support this work will need to be upgraded and integrated to a degree they have not been historically. A diverse and individually autonomous, and vitally important, network of chapters will need to ‘own’ and support a growth agenda, and be ready to adapt to changes in how the enterprise works. And the best of the AMIGOS culture and values will have to be preserved and nurtured. The strength of the organization and the commitment of staff and volunteers make it possible to consider such an ambitious agenda, but that same commitment compels the organization to protect the quality of this program. The new President will have to maintain the quality of the current program, and assure the same quality in any new initiatives. We recognize that the new President and the entire organization will need to stretch to adapt to and fund growth and change. A Task Force of board members and key stakeholders, which effectively represents the expectations and needs of the organization, has been organized as a search committee. The Task Force has given careful consideration to granting the new President this evolutionary mandate. It is fully alert to the obligation of the Board to partner with the President to develop and implement this agenda, and it is ready to provide support and guidance, and to adapt as needed, through the many challenges that will come with change. The primary focus of the new President will be on strategic planning and growth, fund raising, marketing and communications, organizational and board development and executive management. As chief strategist, the President will formulate a growth strategy and plan with the Board, and with the Board’s active support will build organization-wide consensus, acquiring the resources and support for growth and effectively implementing the plan. Because AMIGOS is currently oriented to a President who provides day-to-day oversight, the new President will need to strike a fine balance - assuring continuous oversight of the organization while developing and adapting the strategy, personnel, systems and policies necessary for growth. The current stability of AMIGOS and the common cause among staff, board and chapters to continue this great work make it possible to explore ideas for growth and prepare the organization to evolve. We see this as a search for a leader and a way forward. We believe a thoughtful and candid dialogue with our top candidates about the opportunities before AMIGOS is the best means to shape our future direction. We expect our top candidates to help inform us on the possibilities for growth, and we will welcome the President who can best shape a new vision and join with us. Role and Responsibilities Reporting to the Board Chair and the International Board of Directors, the President will have overall responsibility for the planning, implementation, administration and management of all AMIGOS programs, services and systems. S/he will serve as an advisor to the Board on all organizational matters, and can expect the active involvement and support of its members. The new President will be expected to work with the Board, staff and chapters to develop and implement an agreed upon strategic direction and plan for AMIGOS. S/he will be the spokesperson for AMIGOS in a wide and highly visible range of situations in which s/he will be expected to provide confidence-inspiring leadership, mobilize broad-based support and act with confidence, knowledge and wisdom on behalf of the organization. Fundraising, institutional strategy, enhancing the organization’s brand and communications, and forming external relationships to bolster programmatic and growth strategies will be central to this role. Working with the management team, the President will be accountable to the Board for assuring that AMIGOS’ activities achieve the organization’s service, performance and outcome goals. With the management team, the President is accountable for the fiscal health of the organization. S/he oversees AMIGOS’ operating and capital budgets and maintains fiscal control over expenditures. S/ he provides leadership in identifying potential sources of support for its operations and capital development. The President must be vigilant in sustaining AMIGOS’ commitment to team building and be attentive to internal management, assuring that all parts of the organization are working toward the same goals. Qualifications AMIGOS is seeking a President who has an unswerving commitment to youth development, community development and multiculturalism, and who will inspire broad-based, deeply felt commitment to the advancement of AMIGOS’ mission. Strong leadership, management, communication, fundraising and decision-making skills are critical to success in this position. The successful candidate should have the proven ability to encourage teamwork and collaboration among many individuals and organizations. The President will be a leader with extraordinary vision who is able to realize that vision through a rich interaction with the Board, staff, Chapters, Volunteers, supporters and those who are served by the organization. The President must have a value set consistent with a culture that is based upon respect, connectedness, high ethical standards and a passion to make a difference. The President must have the skill to assure that AMIGOS’ programs are responsive to the dynamic, changing needs of those it serves, and that the methods and resources employed reflect best practices. The ideal candidate will have experience working with youth development, community development and grant making systems, or with related programs. A minimum of ten years experience in a senior leadership role is required. An advanced degree in management, development, or other related disciplines is preferred. Specific skills and commitments required of the President include: • Leadership: Commands respect for his or her accomplishments. Is well connected and has extensive experience working with local, national and international governmental, policymaking and grant making institutions and leaders. Can inspire others. • Commitment: Demonstrates a personal commitment to social and economic justice, youth development and community development. • Vision: Has a clear vision for advancing opportunities for youth development, and for using the resources of the Board, staff, Volunteers, chapters, funders, policymakers, citizens, activists and the media to realize this vision. • Fundraising: Will fulfill the role of lead fundraiser for the organization, and will design and implement the optimal means for the Board, development staff and Program Directors to support and contribute to these efforts. • Communication Skills: Demonstrates superior communication skills and serves as the primary spokesperson for the organization, while directing and inspiring Board leaders, program directors and Volunteer leaders to effectively represent the organization in their areas of expertise. • Management Skills: Possesses a proven track record managing staff, finances and a complex organization in a manner that is progressive and consistent.

Together with a national network of members and partners, we are working to ensure that every baby is given the best possible chance to reach not only his or her first birthday, but many happy birthdays beyond. <p> First Candle has made significant impact over the past several decades in the arenas of Sudden Infant Death, Sudden Unexpected Infant Death and Stillbirth, through programs of research, education and advocacy. While we will always remain committed to compassionate grief support, First Candle passionately pursues a future where all babies survive and thrive. We speak in terms of infant survival... and we work optimistically toward the celebration of first candles, first birthdays, healthy babies and families whose dreams of parenting are fulfilled. <p> <b>History</b><p> Started in the early 1960s as the National SIDS Foundation, the organization’s primary focus was to support families who had experienced the death of a baby from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Through the foundation, grassroots advocacy efforts were successful at securing the first national funding available specifically for SIDS research. <p> In 1987, forged through the merger of several national and regional SIDS groups from across the country, the SIDS Alliance was created as an umbrella organization to provide a single, focused entity dedicated to the elimination of SIDS. As a key partner in the national Back to Sleep campaign, the organization has been credited with helping to save more than 25,000 babies’ lives during the past decade alone, amounting to a drop of nearly 60 percent in the U.S. SIDS rate. <p> In 2003, the SIDS Alliance Board of Directors voted to expand the organization’s mission to include stillbirth and other sudden, unexpected infant deaths (SUID). The organization has committed its resources – both human and financial – in hopes of having a similar impact on stillbirth as it has had on SIDS, in the belief that every baby should live. Fittingly, the organization also voted to change its name to First Candle, to reflect its broader mission and hope for the future, a future where all babies survive. <p> <b>Programs</b><p> First Candle currently has four programmatic focus areas: research, education, advocacy and family support.<ul> <li><u>Research </u>– First Candle’s national research program funds projects that meet the highest standards of scientific merit and medical significance in furthering the understanding of SIDS, stillbirth and other causes of sudden, unexpected infant deaths (SUID). During the past two decades, we have provided more than $4 million to fund cutting-edge research projects at medical institutions throughout the United States.<p> <li><u>Education & Awareness</u> – First Candle supplies comprehensive, quality-assured information on infant health and survival to new and expectant parents and the general public through a toll-free information hotline and website. We also provide technical assistance, education and training to health professionals and community organizations who work with families. Last year we distributed more than 200,000 brochures and fact sheets, and conducted train-the-trainer-style workshops for more than 800 health professionals.<p> <li><u>Advocacy </u>– First Candle helps guide national and local political action to ensure that SIDS, stillbirth and other infant health issues receive adequate awareness and funding. Since 1985, federal funding for SIDS research has increased from $300,000 to its current level of $17 million. In recent years, working through the National Institutes of Health and its Stillbirth Collaborative Research Network, First Candle has helped increase federal funding available for stillbirth research from $0 to its current level of more than $3 million. Most recently, First Candle convened a congressional briefing to introduce the National Caucus for Infant Health and Safety.<p> <li><u>Family Support </u>– First Candle provides bereavement services to help families through the difficult time after the death of a baby. Through conferences, the distribution of grief packets, referrals to local support services and our website, we help families connect and share experiences. Crisis counselors are also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, through our toll-free crisis hotline at 1-800-221-7437. Every year, First Candle reaches more than 13,000 people devastated by the death of a baby.</ul><p> First Candle believes that success in saving babies’ lives will be achieved through collaboration and coalition-building. In an effort to ensure success, we partner with individuals and groups at the national, state and local levels who are concerned about infant health and survival.<p> First Candle is governed by an 18-member board of directors. The organization’s current budget is $2.8 million. Current staffing includes 11 full time staff, 6 part time contracted staff (17 total staff), and several medical, legal and lobbying consultants who bring additional expertise to the team. More information on First Candle may be found at: www.firstcandle.org.<p> <b>The Position</b><p> Reporting to the Board of Directors and based in Baltimore, Maryland, the Executive Director is responsible for providing overall leadership, direction, and operational and financial management of First Candle.

Founded in 1956 to address the issues of urban renewal and institutional expansion, both of which were threatening the architectural fabric of historic College Hill, PPS has grown to become a nationally prominent, multi-faceted citywide preservation organization. PPS accomplishes its mission primarily through education and advocacy. In a dynamic city that has undertaken major physical transformations in the last thirty years, PPS advocates for the appropriate treatment and sustainable use of historic buildings and neighborhoods and for new development that will enhance the city’s historic character. Programs currently operated by PPS include Planning and Architectural Review, Preservation Advocacy, Preservation Education, Historic House Marker Program, Realtor Training, Ten Most Endangered Properties List, Preservation Awards, and a regular series of fundraising events linked to properties and areas of preservation interest. Located in a 1772 building, jointly owned with the Junior League of Rhode Island, PPS has a full-time staff of 5, a thirty three-member Board, membership of 700 and more than 300 active volunteers. The annual operating budget is approximately $475,000. In part because of the efforts of PPS, Providence has evolved into a desirable, livable city. It enjoys an unparalleled collection of historic buildings dating from the early 18th century, with 30 National Register districts within the city limits. Rhode Island has the highest concentration of historic properties in the country. CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES After the departure of the previous Executive Director, the Board resolved to step back and carefully assess what is necessary for PPS to fully achieve its mission. Board member Vicki Veh agreed to serve as interim Executive Director. A Strategic Direction committee was created. Over a period of months, the committee interviewed experts, stakeholders, community activists and policy makers, conducted research, and surveyed Board and staff at PPS. The committee has been resolute – demanding an honest accounting of PPS’s performance and potential, and focusing on the most compelling needs and opportunities for historic preservation in Providence. In December 2009, the committee reported its findings to the Board, which the Board has fully endorsed. The basic elements of these findings are: 1. Preservation is not sufficiently integrated into the City of Providence’s policies, planning, and economic development. 2. The broad benefits of preservation need to be better understood by the community, including the public at large, elected officials and other policy makers, and community groups. 3. Clear and consistent advocacy for historic preservation does not exist in Providence. 4. PPS’s institutional capacity is currently insufficient to address critical preservation issues in Providence and to promote its organizational mission. This review has been invigorating for PPS, and now leads naturally to the search for a new Executive Director. These are formidable challenges, but the Board is engaged and resolved to meet them, and certain the time is right to rally the community to this cause. The organization is financially stable. All understand that the educational, policy, advocacy and community engagement agenda of the organization will be shaped and implemented by the new Executive Director, so our focus is now on finding and organizing to support that person. Our ambition is to attract a leader who shares our values; has an expert understanding of preservation, including well developed political and policy acumen and highly effective communication and organizing skills; and demonstrates strong not-for-profit management, including skills in budgeting, organizational development, and fund raising. Recognizing that individuals with these qualities are in great demand, we are committed to dedicating the PPS Board as an effective partner and champion for such a person. To that end, the Board has resolved to enact a number of improvements in partnership with the new Executive Director. • PPS needs a strong, visible, professional leader who will be a respected and influential voice for preservation in the community and with policy makers, and it is ready to organize its strong base of volunteers and staff to best leverage and extend that leader’s influence and the impact of PPS on the critical issues of the day. • The Board will undertake a board development review in collaboration with the new Executive Director. One goal will be to determine how to best sustain the positive energy and engagement of what has been a sizeable Board, while also assuring it will be a focused and nimble governing and strategy-oriented body. Other goals include assuring the Board more fully represents the diverse social, community, business and preservation interests it strives to serve, and that it is constituted to be a strong and influential champion for preservation. • In partnership with the new Executive Director, the Board is committed to securing funding to support the transition of PPS to a more diversified revenue base upon which its strategic, programmatic and human resources are best aligned with its overall goals. We anticipate that events will continue to be a key part of the PPS portfolio, but in better balance with the broader agenda and more diversified sources of revenue and program initiatives. This transition to a more diversified funding base is regarded as a valuable step towards sharpening the focus of PPS on its primary mission of advocacy and education. • While fund raising will always be a necessity, the Board is alert to the importance of organizing staff and volunteer resources to leverage the Executive Director’s primary focus on advocacy, policy and community engagement, and will work with the Executive Director to achieve that balance. While PPS was created by concerned citizens responding to an immediate crisis, the imminent destruction of large portions of historic College Hill, the organization was more broadly committed to facing and accepting both the challenges and privileges of living in an historic city. While destruction of College Hill was avoided, the challenges of an historic urban area remain before PPS as much as they did over 50 years ago and continue to unite the Board, staff and supporters of this organization. The successful candidate for this position will find a wealth of energy and encouragement as well as a Board that is prepared fully and completely to support a strong, visible and effective Executive Director. ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY The Executive Director serves as the chief executive and operating officer, with overall responsibility for the planning, implementation and management of all PPS programs, services and systems. She/he is appointed by and reports to the Board of Directors and can expect the commitment, active involvement and support of its members. She/he serves as an advisor to the Board on all organization matters. The Executive Director is accountable to the Board for assuring that PPS's activities achieve the agency's preservation, advocacy, education, public policy and fundraising goals. She/he must exert decisive leadership and mobilize broad based support in order to accomplish these goals. Beyond the current PPS programs, the new Executive Director will plan for how PPS will continue to promote its mission and influence into the future. With the Board, she/he must establish a sustainable, well-articulated vision for this future. She/he will be spokesperson for PPS in an extremely wide and highly visible range of situations where she/he will be expected to provide confidence-inspiring leadership, reflecting the values and professionalism of the organization and maintaining a positive public image of PPS. The Executive Director is accountable for the fiscal health of the organization. She/he oversees PPS’s operating budget and maintains fiscal control over expenditures. She/ he provides leadership in identifying potential sources of public and private support. QUALIFICATIONS PPS is seeking an Executive Director who has an unswerving commitment to historic preservation, someone who will command respect for his or her accomplishments and inspire broad-based, deeply felt commitment to the advancement of the PPS mission. Strong leadership and decision-making skills are critical to success in this position. The successful candidate should have a proven ability to encourage teamwork and collaboration among many individuals and organizations. Strong communication skills are imperative. S/he must also possess strong personal skills and the ability to cultivate relationships with widely varying constituencies. The Executive Director will be a leader with unusual vision who is able to empower that vision through a rich interaction with the membership, communities, Board, staff, funders, policy makers, and professionals who serve and are served by the organization. The Executive Director must have a value set consistent with the PPS culture, which is based upon teamwork, respect, openness, honest communication, entrepreneurship and high standards. Candidates should be able to demonstrate the capacity to lead and manage this organization and its staff in a manner that is progressive and consistent. Candidates should have a successful background in budgeting and finance, program development and implementation, fundraising, and public advocacy. The facility to develop a sophisticated understanding of the historic preservation, public policy, development, zoning, institutional and community issues facing Providence is essential. PPS seeks candidates who possess knowledge of and a commitment to preservation principles and techniques, and a personal interest in and understanding of their relevance to contemporary life and their impact on the local economy. The ideal candidate will have experience working with local and regional government and communities, policymaking and grant making systems, preservation and architectural leaders and other related interests.

In 2003 it was named one of the twenty most influential groups in health policy based on a survey of congressional staff – the only grassroots group and the only breast cancer organization to make that list. Since NBCC's founding in 1991, it has changed the world of breast cancer – in public policy, science, industry and advocacy – by creating new partnerships, collaborations, research funding opportunities and avenues for access to quality care. NBCC has grown to include hundreds of organizations, representing several million patients, professionals, women, their families and friends. Coalition members include cancer support, information and service groups, as well as women's health and provider organizations. NBCC's mission is to eradicate breast cancer, the most common form of cancer among women in the United States (excluding skin cancer), by focusing the administration, U.S. Congress, research institutions and consumer advocates on breast cancer. NBCC encourages all those concerned about this disease to become advocates for action and change. The Coalition informs, trains and directs patients and others in effective advocacy efforts. Nationwide, women and men are increasing the awareness of breast cancer public policy by participating in legislative, scientific and regulatory decisions, promoting positive media coverage and actively working to raise public awareness. To achieve its mission, the National Breast Cancer Coalition has three primary goals: • Research: to promote research into the cause of and optimal treatments and cure for breast cancer through increased funding, improved coordination and distribution of research funds, and recruitment and training of scientists; • Access: to improve access to high-quality breast cancer screening, diagnosis, treatment and care for all women particularly the underserved and uninsured-through legislation and change in the regulation and delivery of health care; • Influence: to increase the involvement and influence of those living with breast cancer and other breast cancer activists in the decision-making processes that impact all aspects of the disease. The extensive efforts of NBCC's nationwide advocacy network have resulted in meaningful progress in the fight against breast cancer. Overview of NBCC/NBCCF's major accomplishments since its inception in 1991: &#61692; Created and mobilized a powerful, effective and diverse network of trained grassroots activists, giving breast cancer a meaningful voice in Washington, D.C. and state capitals, in laboratories and health care institutions. &#61692; Increased federal funding for breast cancer research, including over $2.1 billion for the Department of Defense (DOD) Breast Cancer Research Program. &#61692; Conceived and spearheaded an unprecedented model of consumer involvement and innovative research at the DOD peer-reviewed Breast Cancer Research Program, which has attracted more than 29,000 proposals since its inception. &#61692; Urged the Clinton Administration to create a National Action Plan on Breast Cancer, a unique collaboration of government, science, private industry and consumers, and co-chaired the Plan’s implementation. &#61692; Channeled the outrage that low-income and uninsured women had access to screening but not treatment into a public policy strategy and successful fight for a system of care, the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Act. &#61692; Established an innovative Annual Advocacy Training Conference to empower thousands of advocates to push for quality care, research and health care access and better serve their communities. &#61692; Created Project LEAD®, an acclaimed science-based training program for breast cancer advocates, with over 1,300 graduates and a website for continuing education. &#61692; Developed Beyond the Headlines to bring the perspective of trained breast cancer activists to research studies and media reports, to cut through the rhetoric and provide unbiased breast cancer information and offer tools for understanding the complexities inherent in breast cancer issues. &#61692; Launched our Clinical Trials Initiative to make certain that the right research gets done correctly and quickly, that trained breast cancer survivors are included in trial design and accrual; and that policies encourage access to trials and mandate insurance coverage for participants. &#61692; Assisted groups nationwide and throughout the world to strengthen their ability to speak up and out about political, scientific and health care issues. &#61692; Created our Environmental Initiative to lead the fight for a national strategy to address the links between environmental factors and breast cancer. &#61692; Developed our Quality Care Initiative to put the power in the hands of women with the disease to make informed treatment decisions and promote systems change. Created the Guide to Quality Breast Cancer Care, a consumer guidebook that helps those affected by breast cancer to better understand what quality care is and how to get it. &#61692; Earned recognition as one of the top 25 most influential groups in national health policy in a University of Chicago study. &#61692; Created breakthrough programs to shape the future of breast cancer research, including a Strategic Consensus Conference on biomarkers. &#61692; Launched Personal Stories, Public Action & trade; and Get it Off Your Chest campaigns to put a face on breast cancer.
