A federally chartered advisory committee, the DCLG consists of 15 consumer advocates who are involved in cancer advocacy and reflect the diversity among those whose lives are affected by cancer. The group helps identify appropriate advocates to serve on program and policy advisory committees, advises and makes recommendations to the NCI director and serves as a channel for consumer advocates to voice their perspective on a wide variety of issues, programs and research priorities. New members will be appointed in July 2001 and must be U.S. citizens. Nominations must be postmarked by Feb. 15. Do Club is offering a beginner's class for adults and mature teens starting Feb. 26.
