About Margaret Kirk
Margaret C. Kirk is the President and CEO of Breast Cancer Network of Strength, formerly known as Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization. Ms. Kirk has lost several close friends to breast cancer, supported others who are survivors, and lost her father to metastatic prostate cancer. It was partly these experiences that resulted in her accepting the challenge of leading this growing national voluntary health agency in 2001. In the eight years under her leadership, Network of Strength has significantly increased its national visibility, enhanced its programs, and has increased its operating budget more than six-fold. In the past year, the organization has also gone through a major rebranding and has merged its affiliates into a single corporation with the national office.
Ms. Kirk has more than thirty years of not-for-profit experience, including academic, arts, and healthcare organizations—on the local, regional, and national levels. Her experience includes management, fundraising, and affiliate relations. Prior to joining Network of Strength, she worked for the Alzheimer’s Association for ten years, holding several different positions on both the local and national levels. During her four-year tenure as Vice President of Development, the contributed income of the national office of the Association more than doubled, increasing from $22 million to $52 million.
About Susan Beausang
Susan Beausang is President and designer of 4Women.com, a company that provides fashionable head scarves for women with medical hair loss. After losing her own hair, Susan recognized a need to bring fashion to the world of medical head coverings.
