All the CPRIT funded programs have been busy with their ongoing activities to educate our community about preventing cancer and enrolling eligible participants for free breast, cervical, HPV and colorectal cancer screening. The CPEP Team had the chance to update and touch base with its Community Advisory Board (CAB) at the beginning of the year. The meeting format included updates on the progress of each program, and a new interactive feedback session entitled Café CPRIT Style. This facilitated dialogue activity allowed CAB partners to give timely and specific feedback about recruitment and ways to improve outreach. Members of our CAB commented how they enjoyed the time to engage with the different programs, but also the networking time the meeting provided. Next steps include the incorporation of CAB feedback into current work plans and the planning of another interactive meeting format for the next meeting. We would love to hear from you about your ideas for the next CAB meeting!

2 CPEP Page 2 of 6 National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month The ACCION Team worked hard during the month of March promoting screening as part of awareness efforts during National Colorectal Cancer Awarenesss Month. Over 400 people received CRC education through collaborative efforts with members of our CAB. Two ACCION participants, (including a cancer survivor) gave testimonials about their experience in the program to encourage people to get screened. ACCION Promotoras joined awareness efforts with the NMSU Fred Hutchinson Cancer Reserch Center Team and its giant, inflatable colon at local health fairs and the Hugo V. Mendoza Solder Family Care Center on Fort Bliss. Thanks to new collaborador, Angela Schoppet from William Beaumont Army Medical Center, two ACCION promotoras supported outreach to soldiers and their families. Next steps for the ACCION promotoras include following up with participants that were eligible to receive free screening services and continuing to seek out new community partners. We look forward to working with our partners next year to raise awareness about the importance of getting screened for colorectal cancer. The ACCION Team would like to thank the following people that made this year s CRC awareness events successful: Reynalda Valdez & Juan Muñoz, ACCION Program Manny Sanchez, Guillen Middle School Robert Maldonado & Perla Chaparro, El Pasoans Fighting Hunger Norma Montes, San Jacinto Adult Learning Center Karoline Sondergeroth, NMSU Angela Schoppet, William Beaumont Army Medical Center Elizabeth Moya, Ysleta Community Learning Center CRC event at Ft.
