ACCC is seeking to fill open positions on its Governmental Affairs Committee. The Committee monitors federal and state legislation and advises the Board of Trustees and the membership on matters that will impact reimbursement and access in community cancer care. The Committee recommends ways that ACCC can be most effective in influencing the executive and legislative branches of federal and state governments consistent with ACCC’s core purpose and strategic objectives. In addition to policymakers in Congress and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the Committee works to establish relationships and maintain communication with federal agencies, independent organizations, and fellow stakeholders to advocate for the needs of the nation’s cancer patients as perceived by the leadership of community cancer programs.
