ASCO Appreciates Its State Affiliate Council Volunteer Leaders!

ASCO’s State Affiliate Council (SAC) Resource Center provides the tools Council leaders need to foster growth and success. We are committed to supporting our state/regional affiliates and encourage our members to become engaged in local activities by joining their state society.

Strong state societies are a vital component of effective advocacy and a critical resource for addressing issues of concern to the cancer community. To better support the activities of each state/regional oncology society, ASCO offers several services and benefits to its Affiliates. Here is a complete list of programs and services.

ASCO-Sponsored Speaker Request Program

If your state/regional society is interested in having an ASCO-sponsored speaker at an upcoming meeting, ASCO leadership, and/or staff are available to speak.

After reading the guidelines, please submit a speaker request form to ASCO at least 90 days prior to the meeting.
