MOVING ON
A Fond Farewell to Michelle Moreau
With a "passion for prevention," Moreau left her mark
This month we said goodbye to Outreach Specialist M
ichelle Moreau, who expanded the WI Cancer Council's prevention efforts and introduced new ways of engaging members.
"Michelle has a passion for cancer prevention, and she never misses an opportunity to make an impact," says Program Director Sarah Kerch. "We are going to miss the generous, thoughtful energy she brings to this work."
"Michelle has been a valued partner and friend for many years," says Beth Brunner, former Council Chairperson and Health Systems Manager for the American Cancer Society. "Her vision and dedication for improving public health in Wisconsin has created numerous opportunities for change. Michelle's work will leave a lasting impact in our state. Thank you for everything you have done in our fight against cancer!"
Michelle and her family are relocating to Arizona this summer. If you'd like to stay in touch, she can be reached at michelle.l.moreau@gmail.com.
