Eileen Sexton has rejoined HNCA as Vice President of Programs. In her new role, she directly oversees the organization’s Gas Card Program, Ambassador & Patient Network Program, and the Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week (OHANCAW).

Eileen previously served as HNCA’s Vice President of Communications and Programs for more than two years. During that time, she revised and updated the OHANCAW online screening site’s registration process, enhanced and revitalized HNCA’s website (www.headandneck.org), re-instituted the quarterly e-newsletter and significantly increased HNCA’s Facebook and Twitter followers.

She has spent the majority of her three-decade career working in non-profit management, guiding communications and marketing teams.

She truly believes in early detection, which has saved many of her beloved family members and dearest friends. She is an avid reader and gardener, loves following the news and continues to enjoy running, bicycling and swimming in her spare time.
