CAPOW 2025 Fall Meeting
What to expect? We will be finalizing (yes you read that right, we are at the final phase) the Comprehensive Cancer Plan for 2025 - 2030, and further establishing the formal coalition structure for future statewide collaboration. A draft agenda will be distributed in the coming weeks, and as we get closer to the meeting, we will also be sending the final draft of the 5-Year Cancer Plan for you to review and come to the meeting with final thoughts.
