• • Develops special sessions at ISMPO meetings
• • Supports the career development of female oncologists by providing educational and mentorship programmes
• • Nurtures the development of a network of female oncologists
• • Inspires and is a “hub” for the creation of regional Women for Oncology groups within the country and collaborate with similar groups in other countries

The Committee member, will be expected to:

• • bring your ideas, experience and enthusiasm to the cause
• • attend the Committee meetings (in person and over the phone)
