WBCC is an alliance of individuals and organizations committed to halting the alarming incidence of breast cancer in Wisconsin. Our mission is to bring Wisconsin voices together to Stand Up and Speak Out about breast cancer through Education, Collaboration and Legislation.
“Beyond the pink ribbon” - Advocacy Training Conference
There are many battlefronts in the war on breast cancer and just as many breast cancer organizations waging that war. The Wisconsin Breast Cancer Coalition is bringing awareness to the importance of advocacy, and we are making advocacy work. Our successes are proof that Standing Up and Speaking Out gets results.
Please join us on Saturday, April 17 at the Comfort Suites - Rock Garden Conference Center in Green Bay for a half-day educational forum to learn about policy priorities affecting the breast cancer community. You will hear from a panel of lawmakers and seasoned volunteer lobbyists about the legislative process – how it works and how important your participation is as a citizen and an advocate. Sarah Thomsen, Anchor/Reporter at WBAY Action 2 News will moderate the panel.
Continental breakfast, luncheon and Advocacy Toolkit are provided. Registration is free for WBCC members, $15 for non-members. Registration opens at 9:30. Program is 10am-2pm. The Comfort Suites are located at 1951 Bond St. in Green Bay. Call or email for more information.
