Margaret Foti, chief executive officer of the American Association for Cancer Research, was selected as the recipient of the 2024 Beacon Award for Women Leaders in Oncology.
The Beacon Award for Women Leaders in Oncology was established in 2022 by the AIM-HI Accelerator Fund and sponsored by the National Foundation for Cancer Research.
Foti has served as CEO of AACR since 1982, driving decades of growth for the organization. During her tenure, AACR’s membership has grown from 3,000 to more than 58,000 cancer researchers, physicians, and advocates in 142 countries and territories.
Foti will receive the Beacon Award at a luncheon ceremony at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, on Oct. 18. Past recipients of the Beacon Award include Monica M. Bertagnolli, in 2023, and Anna D. Barker, in 2022.
