SAN FRANCISCO— Breast Cancer Prevention Partners (formerly The Breast Cancer Fund), the leading national organization working to prevent breast cancer by eliminating our exposures to toxic chemicals and radiation linked to the disease, is pleased to announce its partnership with Environmental and Energy Consulting (EEC) – a state lobbying firm that sets the standard for conservation advocacy in California.

“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with EEC,” said Nancy Buermeyer, Senior Policy Strategist at the Breast Cancer Fund. “Working together we can make great strides to protect Californians from toxic chemicals linked to breast cancer.”

California often leads the nation with forward-thinking environmental and toxic chemical management laws that prioritize the long-term health benefits of all Californians. Policies passed in California benefit citizens across the nation because manufacturers making safer products for the state will almost certainly sell those products nationwide. Maintaining a strong presence in Sacramento by working with EEC enables the Breast Cancer Fund to continue to pursue its strategic goal of implementing and promoting a broad-based public policy agenda that reduces and eliminates exposure to toxic chemicals and radiation that contribute to an increased risk of breast cancer.
