Sponsorship Policy
ICEC establishes partnerships and endorsements with professional societies, academic medical centers, cancer centers, corporations and industry. There is a wealth of opportunity to sponsor programs, ICEC Experts and Associates and related components. ICEC has developed a sponsorship program for our activities and welcomes inquiries from potential sponsors.
Please contact ICEC for any questions or comments.
The International Cancer Expert Corps (“ICEC”) is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization, based in the United States, whose mission is to reduce mortality and improve the quality of life for people with cancer in low- and middle-income countries, as well as the indigenous and geographically underserved populations in upper-income countries and regions worldwide. To support our efforts, ICEC joins with industry leaders, internationally and nationally based companies, academic medical centers, professional societies, non-governmental organizations and others. As such, ICEC has adopted a policy to define and guide these partnerships.
ICEC appreciates the opportunity to work with groups such as these to support our efforts. It is a privilege to be a trusted convener and collaborator in the global health community, and we work to identify common ground to further our mission and the mission of our partners. Their continued support maintains the strength of ICEC and makes tangible our tagline, “Partnering to Transform Global Cancer Care.”
