Meet our new Board Members – Jonica Gillings, Scott Morikawa, and Carlos Valencia!

Jonica is a Customer Service Representative at Higginbotham.

Why did you say “yes” to being on the Board of Directors for Cancer Care?
I said yes to joining the Board of Directors because I wholeheartedly identify with the mission of Cancer Care Services and the impact the organization has on the community.

Which area of the Cancer Care mission impacts you the most?
The Social Connection that Cancer Care creates among those affected by cancer. My father is a cancer survivor, and it meant a lot for me to be able to meet individuals that share a similar experience.

What do you hope to accomplish through your Board service with Cancer Care?
I hope to empower the community at large to take control of their health and advocate for those impacted by cancer.

Scott is a Lead Associate & Analyst at CME Consulting LLC and Leadership Coach at Simple Leadership Strategies.

Why did you say “yes” to being on the Board of Directors for Cancer Care?
I have been connected to Cancer Care in some form or fashion for many years, and I am honored to be asked to serve in this greater capacity to help sustain and further the mission.

Which area of the Cancer Care mission impacts you the most?
The focus also on the care for caregivers and family is something I’ve always appreciated to help ensure all parties involved are healthy physically and mentally.

What do you hope to accomplish through your Board service with Cancer Care?
Use my gifts to impart what little wisdom I have to help maintain, sustain, and grow the organization while uncovering any blind spots that may be lurking in the shadows. If I can swing it I hope to have a good time in the process. 🙂
