The Annie Parker Foundation recently announced that we have embarked on a new strategic vision and organization brand. With a recently recruited Board of Directors in place, the Foundation is looking forward to this exciting journey ahead as we transition from our original vision, which was supporting breast cancer survivors and previvors through specially curated programs and services to our new strategic direction, which includes providing urgently needed programs and support, promoting ground-breaking research and innovation, supporting health and educational initiatives and advocating for policy and practice changes, all with respect to BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 cancers.
In order to promote our Foundation’s new strategic direction to our current stakeholders and to introduce it to our new stakeholders, a video was compiled where our CEO, Annie Parker speaks on the need to increase our advocacy initiatives.
