The American Cancer Society is pleased to announce updates to its Board of Directors, effective April 1, 2025, including the Board officers and one new Board member serving on this critical governing body.

The Board welcomes a new leader, incoming Chair Terri McClements. Terri is a strategic board director and was most recently a senior partner at PwC, one of the largest global professional services firms, until her retirement in June 2023. She is a longtime ACS volunteer who began her Board service in 2019. She has also served as chair of the Board's Audit Committee and Human Capital Committee.

Also serving as officers are Mark Goldberg, MD, as vice chair; Michelle M. Le Beau, PhD, as Board scientific officer; Connie Lindsey as secretary; and Kathy Gallagher, MSN, as treasurer.

The Board also welcomes new member Renee Cardwell Hughes, a highly experienced executive, attorney, independent Board member, qualified financial expert, arbitrator, and retired judge with more than 15 years on the bench.

The ACS Board is comprised of talented individuals committed to providing skilled leadership to help guide the ACS vision to end cancer as we know it, for everyone. The Board serves a critical role for the American Cancer Society, working alongside the chief executive officer to establish goals and review and approve the ACS integrated strategic and financial plan, monitor the organization's financial health and risk mitigation strategies, and ensure responsible use of funds. One of the most critical roles the Board plays is in selecting and supporting the transition of the CEO for ACS and ACS CAN.
