Requestors can include but are not limited to:

  • Community organizations
  • Healthcare organizations
  • Public health departments
  • K-12 schools and universities

Speakers may include but are not limited to:

  • Cancer care specialists (oncologists, surgeons, radiologists)
  • Cancer researchers
  • Cancer survivorship specialists
  • Social workers
  • Dietitians

If you are interested in having an expert speak at your event, please contact the speaker’s bureau coordinator at least one month before the scheduled event by completing the Request a Speaker form. We welcome suggestions for speakers on topics not listed below.
