Why is there an Advisory Council?
The Breast and Cervical Cancer Advisory Council (Council) is required by the state statute established through the
Breast Cancer Act of 1993. The National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) was established under Public Law 101-354. California ‘s cooperative agreement with NBCCEDP
mandates our Council meet more than once per year.
How are Council members involved with CDP:EWC?
Members of the Advisory Council are recognized leaders in local, statewide and national efforts to reduce
breast and cervical cancer incidence and mortality for medically underserved California women. Council members have served as
leaders and key participants in Cancer Control Planning Task Forces, the California Dialog on Cancer, Professional Education
curriculum development and teaching of classes, the development of Breast Cancer Diagnostic Algorithms, and have spearheaded
efforts to address disparities in access to services.
Who can apply to be a member of the Council?
Council membership is composed of breast cancer researchers, and representatives from voluntary, nonprofit health organizations, health care professional organizations,
breast cancer survivor groups, and breast cancer and health care-related advocacy groups.
In addition, one member is a non-voting, ex-officio member from the Breast
Cancer Research Program. See the list of
current members.
What type of commitment would I be making as a Council member?
Membership recruitment is continuous. Vacancies are filled by appointment from the DHS Director from the
available pool of applicants. Initial terms are 12 months. Members meet twice a year, in Sacramento, to review successes and
challenges and to strategize and plan for the future. There is no stipend; however, members receive a per diem and travel based on
DHS standards. Conference calls are convened on an ad-hoc basis.
How can I apply to be on the Council?
An application form is
available. You may apply at any time.
