Annual Meeting Highlights:

Just Announced!
Keynote Speaker Dan Schorr:

“Many people ask me, ‘What did you learn from Cancer?’ The lessons range from ‘Be Present’ — I was always a long term planner–to ‘Cut Em Lose’ — anyone in my life that said, ‘It Sucks’ or added stress, no matter who they were, was immediately cut off. I still apply those lessons today and there are many more of them. But I was hiking one day making a mental list of Lessons from Cancer and the more daunting question came up, ‘Why did I survive?’ Those answers are the takeaway from the session.”
