I had the pleasure of working for Katherine Sawyer at the American Cancer Society when she served as our Regional Vice-President. Katherine has the ability to inspire and motivate staff and she brings out the best in each individual. During her tenure with the Society, she forged numerous partnerships with healthcare institutions, community organizations and individual donors that resulted in improved patient services, innovative education programs and financial gain. Katherine is a thoughtful leader and I learned volumes from the insights she shared as well as her personal example.
