Speaking about his role, Ed Dandridge explained, “I joined Komen’s Board to support the mission of ending breast cancer in our lifetime. With proper access to health services, breast cancer is a disease that can be screened for, detected and, many times, successfully treated. But for all the advances we’ve made, countless people are still dying simply because they did not have access to the care or information they needed.” Among his prior leadership roles, he served as Director and Vice Chair of The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) and as a member of the President’s Advisory Committee of the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.
