Dave WoodmanseeACS CAN lost one of our beloved employees and fierce cancer advocates, David Woodmansee, to cancer in September 2019. Known by colleagues as ACS CAN’s Mayor, Dave’s career began in Connecticut, where he developed his love for government relations and advocacy.

He served as part of the first staff team when ACS CAN was formed in 2001 and most recently was director, Access to Care on the State and Local Campaigns Team. Throughout his 30-year career with ACS CAN and the American Cancer Society, Dave never met a stranger and offered expertise, guidance and friendship to every volunteer, staff member and partner with whom he engaged. In 2015, Dave received the Alan Mills Award, ACS CAN’s highest staff honor, in recognition of his incredible passion and dedication to passing federal, state and local laws that improved the lives of hundreds of thousands of cancer patients, survivors and their families. His lasting impact on ACS CAN and our mission will never be forgotten.
