Board of Directors

We are proud to introduce the members of our all-volunteer ThyCa Board of Directors, our fulltime Executive Director, and our committees and advisors.

The members of our Board of Directors bring diverse backgrounds and professional experience to their volunteer service to ThyCa. In addition to giving much time to direct support of thyroid cancer survivors, our Directors meet online to plan and develop our services.

Our board members also handle numerous behind-the-scenes tasks needed to keep our services running smoothly, lead outreach and development efforts, and guide and support all our volunteers. Our hundreds of volunteers serve on committees that provide direct support services, organize educational events, develop print and electronic materials, and are involved in outreach activities and research advocacy.

In collaboration with the Board of Directors, ThyCa's Executive Director is responsible for day-to-day management to further ThyCa's vision and strategic plan to further grow support services, education, and outreach, especially for underserved populations, as well as to foster research advocacy and alliances.
