Metastatic Breast Cancer Alliance (MBCA) Announces the Election of Beth Burnett as Vice-Chair along with three new Executive Group members.

NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, September 17, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The MBC Alliance has announced the election of Beth Burnett as the organization’s new Vice-Chair beginning September 1, 2021. The MBC Alliance is a coalition formed in 2013 by metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients and advocates, nonprofit advocacy and research organizations, and pharmaceutical and biotech industry partners who joined together to transform and improve the lives of people living with MBC.

Beth previously served on the Alliance’s Executive Group for several years as a representative from Pfizer Oncology, participating on its Information and Awareness Task Forces. She also supported several of the Alliance’s special initiatives, including strategic planning and the Black Experience of Clinical Trials and Opportunity for Meaningful Engagement (BECOME) Project.

Recently retired as Pfizer’s Director of Advocacy and Professional Relations, Beth brings a diverse network, extensive relationship management experience, and more than 20 years of experience in oncology to her new role. She will serve as the Alliance’s Vice-Chair into 2022, when she will replace outgoing Chair Christine Benjamin as leader of the Executive Group.

“I’m very honored and excited for the opportunity to continue to work with and support the Alliance and the broader community of those living with MBC,” says Beth. “Through its coalition of nonprofit, patient and industry members, the Alliance has been very effective in its work. But there is more work that needs to continue in order to ensure that every person impacted by MBC has access to research and resources to help improve their quality of life.”

The Alliance also welcomes three new Executive Group members: Stephanie Walker, a patient advocate who leads the BECOME Project; Janine Guglielmino, Vice President of Mission Delivery for Living Beyond Breast Cancer; and Christine Verini, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer at Cancer Care. Stephanie and Janine will serve the Executive Group in At-Large roles, while Christine will serve as Co-Chair of the Alliance’s Awareness Task Force.
