“Working for the American Cancer Society has allowed me to work with people from all walks of life and from all professions. I have gained organizational and management skills both through years of formal training and by working alongside fellow staff members and countless volunteers over the last 20-plus years. My well-honed interpersonal skills are the direct result of years of volunteer relationship management and personnel management experience. I cannot think of another organization that could have provided me with the depth and breadth of exposure to such a variety of learning experiences. I am honored and proud to be an American Cancer Society staff member.”

Even after being with the Society for more than two decades, Kathy is still motivated to be a part of our organization’s ongoing mission to bring help and hope to those touched by cancer. She says:

“My greatest motivation in working for the American Cancer Society is being a resource to anyone who has been affected by cancer, directly or indirectly. Although my current role is to provide orientation, training, and development opportunities for staff and volunteers, I am still approached by family, friends, and colleagues on a weekly basis seeking information and support surrounding a cancer diagnosis that has affected their lives. There is no greater motivation for me than being part of such an enormous, volunteer-driven organization that helps saves lives on a daily basis!”
