Alejandra Mendez, Vice President at Childhood Cancer International, shared on LinkedIn:
“With a heart full of gratitude and emotion, I am honored to share that I have begun my term as President of Childhood Cancer International (CCI). For me, this is far more than a new role. It is a profound responsibility and a deeply personal commitment to a community that has been part of my life for many years.
My heartfelt thanks to Rodney Wong for his leadership, his trust in me, and the dedication with which he has guided CCI. He leaves behind a strong and solid organization, ready to embrace new opportunities and face the challenges ahead.
Thank you, Georgia Kokkinou, for accepting the role of Vice President. I know that, together, the journey ahead will be easier, stronger and even more meaningful.
Thank you to each and every member of the Board for placing your trust in me. I am counting on all of you as we work together to fulfill this important mission.
As President, I want to remain close to our members – listening, engaging in open and honest conversations, and growing together.
We will continue to strengthen our global network, welcome new voices and support one another, while ensuring that families and survivors are meaningfully involved in every conversation and decision that affects their lives.
I am immensely grateful to everyone who has helped build CCI into the strong global movement it is today – to our members, regional leaders, board, staff, partners, survivors, families, healthcare professionals and advocates.
Your courage, generosity and dedication have brought us this far, and it is a privilege to continue this journey with you.
Above all, we must never forget that behind every statistic, every survival rate and every number, there is a child, a mother, a father, a family.
I step into this role with hope, determination and an open heart. There is much to do, and I am deeply grateful that we will do it together.
Because together we can save more children’s lives!”
