NCRA MEMBERSHIP TOWN HALL SERIES

In 2026, NCRA launches a new Town Hall Meeting Series designed to help educate members about the organization's work, priorities, and key initiatives.

The series kicks off on July 22, 2026, with the topic of NCRA Advocacy. As a key component of NCRA's Strategic Management Plan and an area of growing organizational focus, participants gain insight into the history of NCRA's advocacy efforts as well as recent initiatives. Additionally, participants learn how these activities help advance the profession, strengthen cancer surveillance, and support funding for cancer registries.

As outlined in NCRA's Strategic Management Plan, one of the association's key goals is to strengthen its leadership and advocacy efforts on behalf of cancer registries. This includes advancing cancer surveillance initiatives, advocating for sustainable funding, supporting cancer registry operations, and enhancing workforce development opportunities. Over the past year, NCRA has expanded its advocacy efforts at the federal level, working alongside partner organizations to champion policies and funding that support cancer registries and the vital role they play in cancer surveillance and cancer control. These efforts help ensure the continued collection of high-quality cancer data while supporting the professionals who make this work possible.

The Advocacy Town Hall, taking place on July 22, 2026, from 2:00 PM-3:00 PM EDT, is exclusively available to current NCRA members. Registration is required and is now open at the bottom of this page. Registration closes at 11:59 EDT on July 15, 2026.

The purpose of this event is to create an opportunity for members to learn more about NCRA's current initiatives, ask questions, share feedback, and discuss issues that are important to the profession. Topics include:

1. NCRA's Strategic Management Plan, with a focus on the objectives outlined in Goal 6.
2. The association's advocacy efforts, as well as the outcomes of those initiatives.
3. Opportunities for members to share their perspectives, provide input, and engage in NCRA’s ongoing work on behalf of the profession.

During the registration process, members will have the opportunity to submit questions for the Town Hall live Q&A session. The Q&A session will be held with time permitting to ensure respect for the posted start and end time of the Town Hall.
