The National Conference on Work & Cancer Turns 4!

Lindsay Mitcher on July 14, 2014

tags: CAC Event, CAC Resource, Event, National Conference on Work & Cancer

Last month we were thrilled to see exactly how much the National Conference on Work & Cancer has grown in just four short years. Cancer and Careers’ signature in-person event welcomed more than 250 attendees from 25 states, including 39 scholarship recipients from underserved regions across the country, such as Horton, KS, Dolton, IL and even Honolulu, HI!  

Patients, survivors, healthcare professionals and nonprofit partners came together to experience this truly empowering day filled with networking, resources and sessions addressing the complexities of balancing cancer treatment and recovery with employment. The morning kicked off with a panel offering the doctor’s perspective followed by a two-hour session focused on practical and legal issues featuring interactive discussion. This year, new breakout sessions were added to the afternoon program lineup, including “Managing your Finances,” “Building Self-Confidence” and “Stress: How to Manage It During and Post Treatment.”

The highlight of the day for me was hearing countless attendees remarking on the transformative and informative nature of the conference. People like Donna, cancer survivor and 2014 National Conference scholarship recipient:

“As I embark on my post-treatment ‘new normal,’ I was lucky enough to attend the 2014 National Conference on Work & Cancer. Not only did I learn pertinent, helpful information, I did so surrounded by the camaraderie of fellow survivors and oncology professionals. There is definitely strength in numbers! Effective takeaways, for me, included overall clarity as to how to move forward in my personal career, including best practices that might help me achieve this more effectively and efficiently. I am very grateful for this opportunity and look forward to being an ambassador for Cancer and Careers in my local community. Many, many thanks for providing me with a scholarship to attend this conference! I feel like the benefits…were many fold and invaluable.”

This event was made possible by the support of our nine incredible sponsors and the 33 community partner organizations that serve as CAC ambassadors helping to spread the word about our programming. Thank you to all who attended and supported this year’s National Conference! We look forward to seeing you next June!
