Introducing ACCA Commons!
A New Forum for Member Dialogue

The Association of Cancer Center Administrators (ACCA) is pleased to announce the launch of ACCA Commons — a new bi-monthly, one-hour call series designed to bring members together to discuss current issues, share experiences, and connect in an open and supportive forum.

🗓 First Session: Wednesday, August 13th
🕓 Time: 4:00 PM Eastern
📍 Virtual (open to ACCA members)
🎤 Hosted by: Jennifer Rogers, MBA
Secretary, ACCA Board of Directors
Associate Director, Administration
UK Markey Cancer Center

Each session of ACCA Commons will be led by a member of the ACCA Board of Directors and will feature challenges and opportunities facing cancer center administrators. There is no set agenda — this is your space to raise topics, ask questions, and share insights with peers from across the country. All discussion points are welcome, but we will make every effort to prioritize questions from centers whose CCSG submission deadlines are rapidly approaching.

Who Should Attend:
All ACCA members are encouraged to participate. Whether you’re looking to learn, contribute, or simply listen in, your voice and perspective are welcome.

Let’s come together to learn from each other and strengthen the ACCA community.
