Honored to be a part of the amazing Cancer Advocacy Group of Louisiana (CAGLA) team! https://lnkd.in/g7-pkSQg
Oh, what an evening at Copeland Tower! CAGLA's board of trustees and scientific advisory board members held a thrilling quarterly meeting! The best part? We had speakers from Rise St. James who shared their inspiring stories battling the Petrochemical Industry in Cancer Alley! Led by Sharon Lavigne, 2021’s Goldman Environmental Prize winner, Rise St. James galvanized community opposition and successfully defeated the construction of a $1.25 billion plastics manufacturing plant in 2018. CAGLA and Rise St. James hope to collaborate in the future in an effort to create new Cancer prevention and early detection programs to treat the current residents in both St. John and St. James parishes. We're in full swing planning the 2025 CAGLA NeauxCancer Conference, happening 3/27 - 3/29 at the Roosevelt Hotel, New Orleans. We're expanding with 4 exciting CME/CE Tracks and 1 Investment/Innovation Track. Our 2025 Conference Registration Website, featuring an updated Sponsor Brochure, goes live soon. Get ready for an amazing event! Best, Chad
