OVERVIEW
The GCC Chapters promote and nurture the cancer research, education and training programs of GCC. The Chapters abide by the overarching principles of philanthropy, excellence and collaboration.
Institutional Members of the Chapters are recognized cancer centers and educational institutions in good standing and with professional accreditation.
Each Chapter is governed by designated faculty that form the Board of Trustees, Executive Steering Committee or the Youth Science Committee. The Executive Steering Committee and the Youth Science Committee in each Chapter make recommendations to the Board of Trustees for final approval.
