in 2011 Michele took a bold step and saw one of her dreams come true by launching the Cancer Registry Leadership Mentoring group.  Group members include cancer registrars around the world who come together via teleconference once each moth to discuss leadership opportunities and creative ways in which to manage and improve the cancer registry operations.  Joining the group is free, Michele only asks that individuals in the group make a committed effort to attend the monthly calls.
