AACI Presidential Initiative
About the Presidential Initiative
AACI distinguishes itself among professional cancer organizations through its ongoing engagement with academic cancer centers. The AACI Presidential Initiative allows the president of AACI's Board of Directors to formalize a special project of broad interest and value to AACI members during their two-year term. Several of AACI's signature programs began as presidential initiatives.

An internationally recognized expert in the genetics, cell biology, and biochemistry of DNA repair, Dr. Sweasy is deeply committed to engaging rural and other underserved communities.
