We are in a season of change for the PanCAN Volunteer Advisory Council (VAC) as several long-term members have recently rolled off or will be rolling off in the next few months.

During this time of transition, we reflect on the incredible impact these members have had on the national volunteer base and share our gratitude for the deep conversations and insight shared over the last several years.

I hope you will join us in sharing your appreciation for their efforts by dropping your thoughts onto Kudoboards for our dear friends:

• Wendy Stoneberg - https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/JpWjsLh0
• Janice Griffin - https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/ESLm97Hg
• Jann Skelton - https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/z5tXukty
• Jeanne Lipshetz - https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/E6JdCMAK
• Bruce Platt - https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/YEvFjDQL
• Tripp Razor - https://www.kudoboard.com/boards/GVfTOD7B

With the departure of these dear friends also comes the welcoming of a fresh group of VAC members! Fresh eyes and hearts joining our group makes for new ideas, reinforcement of past efforts and new and unique perspectives we can’t wait to hear from. Please join us in welcoming Eric Borden, Dorla Christie, Marquesa Murray and Rob Caruano.

We are thrilled to be part of the continued evolution of improving outcomes for ALL impacted by pancreatic cancer and of the work this group has done leading up to this time of transition. We absolutely cannot wait to see what we will do next.

As a reminder, the VAC is here for YOU, our volunteer base. We are meant to share your voice and perspectives to PanCAN leadership and are here to celebrate your affiliate wins with you, as well as help you navigate affiliate challenges.
