What is the Society of Emerging Leaders?

The Society of Emerging Leaders (SEL) is a community of student and young professional leaders who are legislative ambassadors (volunteers) of the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (or ACS CAN), the nonprofit and nonpartisan affiliate of the American Cancer Society that advocates for evidence-based public policies to reduce the cancer burden for everyone. We believe everyone should have a fair and just opportunity to prevent, detect, treat, and survive cancer. Together, we’re working to make cancer a top priority for public officials and candidates at the federal, state, and local levels.
