If you are not actively volunteering, explain your hesitancy and speculate how serving on committees, running for an elected office (state or national), planning events, mentoring, and/or presenting at conferences could improve your day-to-day cancer registry work, help develop leadership and management skills, and serve as a way to give back to the profession.

Cancer registrars are data information specialists who capture a complete history, diagnosis, treatment, and health status for every cancer patient in the U.S. The curated data provides essential information to researchers, healthcare providers, and public health officials to better monitor and advance cancer treatments, conduct research, and improve cancer prevention and screening programs.
