2012 LIVESTRONG Assembly
Welcome! Thank you for participating in the 2012 LIVESTRONG Assembly. The inaugural LIVESTRONG Assembly in 2011 connected our program partners to the donors who fund them and recognized individuals, both programmatic partners and donors, who make our work possible. More than 10 partner groups will be meeting throughout the LIVESTRONG Assembly, working on tactical plans and 2012 initiatives in their respective areas.
Overview
The inaugural Assembly in 2011 connected our program partners to the donors who fund them and recognized individuals, both programmatic partners and donors, who make our work possible.
The 2012 LIVESTRONG Assembly will promote collaboration and exchange of ideas amongst LIVESTRONG's most important partners, advisors and constituents through small group meetings, presentations and social gatherings. The event will highlight our collective achievements and connect our programmatic partners to the individuals who advocate for the 28 million living with cancer.
This year, LIVESTRONG also marks the 15th anniversary of our fight against cancer. Over the past 15 years, $275 million, 81 cents of every dollar raised, has been spent on programs and initiatives to improve the lives of cancer survivors and their families.
What's Happening
More than 10 partner groups will be meeting throughout the LIVESTRONG Assembly, working on tactical plans and 2012 initiatives in their respective areas. We will also host a variety of elective, collaborative activities including the State of the Foundation lunch on Thursday where participants will hear from LIVESTRONG President and CEO, Doug Ulman, a Fun Fajita Dinner Thursday night where you’ll be able to kick back and enjoy the company of your fellow attendees and a Collaborative Mission meeting on Friday morning where all groups will join to network with one another and learn how everyone contributes to the success of our mission.
As we move forward with the planning of the Assembly, additional activities may be added to the agenda. We will keep you posted on all updates.
