What
It Means to be a Visiting Committee Member
Dana-Farber’s Presidential
Visiting Committees are comprised of individuals and representatives who have
made single gifts of $25,000 or more; made commitments of $100,000 or more; or
raised $100,000 or more through a single event or program. Members serve as educated ambassadors to the community at large, provide
counsel and advice to the President, and help to provide and secure the
financial and intellectual resources that support the mission and core values
of the Institute.
There
are seven specialty committees that span different types of cancer, discovery
science, and various Institute initiatives. Membership is comprised of
leaders in business, academia, and the community. Learn more about each
committee and its specific focus here.
