STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS Part III, LINES 4A-4C State Issues Education and Advocacy KAA developed and implemented various education and advocacy initiatives to encourage state elected and agency officials to support policies and legislation that further the overall mission to end breast cancer forever. KAA conducted education and outreach with key state elected leaders, state agencies, and candidates on breast cancer and breast health issues. Additionally, KAA coordinated various grassroots campaigns to mobilize the KAA network of breast cancer advocates. With states across the country facing serious budget deficits, these efforts helped to preserve over $100 million for screening programs for low income, uninsured and underinsured women in 40 states. KAA was also involved in the following legislative successes: Oral chemotherapy parity legislation was passed in 4 states, breast density legislation was passed in Texas; and legislation was passed with funding to expand Treatment Act coverage in Oregon. Federal Issues Education and Advocacy Through education, outreach and advocacy initiatives, KAA worked to encourage federal lawmakers, agency heads, and candidates to support programs, legislation, and policies that advance our mission of ending breast cancer forever. Specifically, KAA, with the support of its network of breast cancer advocates, engaged in efforts to educate lawmakers about the importance of early detection and to encourage their support for funding for the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) and for continuing to invest in breast cancer research. These efforts helped to maintain $206 million for NBCCEDP in the FY11 budget and result in only minimal cuts to the NIH/NCI budget. Grassroots Outreach and Education. KAA actively recruited advocates to further strengthen its grassroots advocacy network. KAA also implemented various programs to educate and engage advocates in breast cancer policy issues.
