Speaker Bio
Becky Kamowitz, Executive Director, The Skin Cancer Foundation
20 years ago, thanks to a college internship that wasn’t even her first choice, Becky discovered her passion for finding creative ways to communicate messages that help people lead healthier lives. After several years at a boutique PR agency, she joined The Skin Cancer Foundation in 2010 before moving to DKMS, an international bone marrow donor center, where she focused on donor education and retention programming. She rejoined the Foundation in 2016. In her former role as senior director of marketing communications, Becky developed and delivered campaigns that empower people to take a proactive approach to daily sun protection and the early detection and treatment of skin cancer. Under her direction, the Foundation rebranded and expanded its national screening program, Destination Healthy Skin, developed a new public service campaign, The Big See, launched a patient resource program, Robins Nest, and redesigned SkinCancer.org. She oversees the Foundation’s advocacy and government affairs efforts and currently serves as co-chair of the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention.
In 2024, Becky became the executive director of The Skin Cancer Foundation, leading a staff of 16. In her short tenure, Becky has enjoyed connecting on a new level with physician members, skin cancer patients, donors and corporate partners, as she shares her ideas for the future of the Foundation. She hopes to foster an office environment where the Foundation’s modest, motivated staff can thrive as they deliver programs and content that help save and improve the lives of millions.
Becky has a bachelor’s degree in public relations and political science from Hofstra University. Originally from Hartford, Connecticut, Becky lives in Brooklyn, New York with her husband and daughter.
