Herding More Cows

I hope that you have all heard about our Summit in September (previously called the Prostate Cancer Congressional Fly-In). I am very excited about this year's event as we expanded the event from 1-1/2 days to 2-1/2 days. We will be covering a range of topics with Tuesday afternoon focused on early detection and imaging technology, Wednesday dedicated to treatment and prevention as well as training about crafting the message to legislators, and closing the week on Thursday with visits to Member offices.

I have several invitations out to people from other organizations and groups to speak, but would also like to have your input.

What would you like to learn more about? What specific topics (particularly in terms of research) are you interested in? I am trying to promote a format that will encourage people to be involved and asking questions as opposed to just sitting and listening. I am a big fan of the "round table" discussion and working in smaller groups to come to solutions for larger problems.

So, with all of that said, I welcome your feedback either by posting a comment or simply by emailing me at kjohnson@fightprostatecancer.org.

Thank you in advcance for your input.
