The award recognizes individuals for their leadership, innovation, and contributions to the improvement of cancer care in his or her state or region. As once described by the ACS, award recipients "are collaborators, innovators, and experts working with cancer programs, professionals, and state coalitions to improve the quality of cancer care. They have strong collaboration skills and work closely with the American Cancer Society." More information on the mission of the ACS Commission on Cancer can be found on the ACS website here
