Our new Policy Coordinator brings passion and experience
 We are thrilled to welcome Amy Johnson as the new Policy Coordinator for the WI Cancer Council.
Amy comes to us with an impressive background in public policy work at the state and federal level.
She began her career as a US Senate staffer, and later worked as a federal lobbyist on health care and human services. More recently, Amy led the Lutheran Office for Public Policy in Wisconsin, which focused on alleviating the burden of poverty for all Wisconsinites. She holds a law degree from Drake University.
As our Policy Coordinator, Amy will work closely with the Council's Policy Committee to develop and implement a statewide cancer-related policy agenda. In addition, she will provide policy-related education and guidance to our staff and membership.
