Komen CEO Leaves, 3 Days After New Federal Cancer Guidelines
November 19, 2009 | By Michele Donohue and Mark Hrywna

Hala Moddelmog, president and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, a leading national breast cancer awareness organization, has resigned. The departure was announced just three days after the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) issued its controversial updated mammogram guidelines.

The organization did not announce plans for selecting Moddelmog’s long-term replacement. Komen Founder and Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker will take a more active leadership role in conjunction with the board of directors and senior leadership, according to a statement from the organization.
