I have had the distinct honor and pleasure of working with and learning from @TLHargrove for the last 17 years. She embodies the David Woodmansee award and her ongoing impact in the fight against cancer is undeniable. So happy to see her get her due. #CancerLobbyDay
The Dave Woodmansee Award for Excellence is the highest award a staff member can receive. We are thrilled to present this year's award to Trista Hargrove, who for 20 years has tirelessly championed our mission and health equity through her media advocacy work. #CancerLobbyDay
