AACI will host its inaugural Leadership Diversity and Development Initiative (LDDI) Workshop, November 8-9, at the Loews Chicago O'Hare Hotel in Rosemont, IL. The pilot event will convene emerging leaders from each AACI member cancer center at in-depth leadership development workshops spanning a day and a half.
The workshops are part of the presidential initiative of AACI President Caryn Lerman, PhD, director of USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center. The LDDI aims to develop best practices for diversifying the oncology leadership pipeline and will provide opportunities for leadership development and mentorship among new and existing cancer center leaders.
Beginning Monday, August 1, cancer centers will be eligible to nominate one emerging leader to attend the LDDI workshops. Nominees should reflect a diverse range of underrepresented backgrounds, perspectives, roles, and qualifications. Registration details and additional information are forthcoming.
