MEMBER HIGHLIGHT: KENNER FAMILY RESEARCH FUND
Kenner Family Research Fund (KFRF) was established in 2013 in memory of Peter Kenner, who died just two months following his diagnosis of pancreatic neuroendocrine cancer. KFRF is committed to supporting the development of an early detection protocol for pancreatic cancer by building strong relationships and strategic alliances with research, government, industry and philanthropic stakeholders. Efforts are focused on outcomes that will positively impact the time of diagnosis, length of survival and quality of life.

ANNUAL MEETING EVALUATION HIGHLIGHTS – CINDY GAVIN, WPCC STEERING COMMITTEE
Thank you for responding to the online evaluation of the 2019 Annual Meeting. I think it's fair to say that this was our best meeting yet! Here are some highlights from the survey:
- 100 percent said the meeting helped them learn and exchange ideas
- 99 percent said that the meeting connected them with people who could help with their organization's work
- 90 percent said that they had already contacted – or were planning to contact – another WPCC member organization as a result of the meeting
The following comments sum up the feedback:
"At the end of the meeting, I was full of ideas, shared experiences, business cards, invitations to keep in touch and offers for assistance and help when and if needed."
"That was incredible. I didn't anticipate the participants to be so networking-oriented, enthusiastic, willing to share their know-how and knowledge...the whole experience was unbelievable! I just hope I can contribute back just a little of what I gained."
We also received many constructive comments that will help us with planning for next year's meeting. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback!

CAMPAIGN CREATIVE UPDATE – JESS ABELSOHN, CHAIR, WPCD COMMITTEE
I wanted to update you following the WPCC Meeting in Miami and your feedback on the creative concepts for WPCD 2019. The WPCD Committee has taken this feedback on board and Hill+Knowlton has worked hard to incorporate all views. Please see the summary of feedback and the final creative (version 3) that H+K has developed. You'll also note we are proposing to repurpose some social media materials from 2018 that cover risk factors. Thank you for your feedback – I hope you will agree it has resulted in stronger and more impactful creative! We will work on the 2019 campaign details over the next couple of months and start to share resources and timelines in late August.
