The Cancer Foundation of Santa Barbara has marked a milestone by appointing an all-female executive committee for the first time in its 75-year history.
“The decision reflects progress and the empowerment of women in our community,” the Cancer Foundation said.
The Cancer Foundation’s 2024 Executive Committee members are Kristen M. R. Blabey, chair; Priscilla Higgins, vice chair; Carola Nicholson, treasurer; and Katina Zaninovich, secretary.
With their unique perspectives and exceptional leadership, the new executive committee members inspire confidence as they embark on this promising journey together, the foundation said.
