Executive Director Transition
at the Prostate Cancer Research Institute

Glenn Weaver, the Executive Director of the Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) is stepping down from his position effective February 28, 2006 to concentrate on his real estate investing business. The new Executive Director will be Brad W. Guess PA-C, who brings an in-depth background in prostate cancer care and research from his position at Prostate Oncology Specialists in Marina del Rey California.

In tendering his resignation, Glenn said, “I am looking forward to concentrating full time on a hobby that I have enjoyed doing over the last 20 years. I will also be doing some part-time consulting in the non-profit world. I have been with the PCRI for seven years now, and I am certainly proud of what we have accomplished. I have been working with Brad since early October to ensure a smooth transition, and I am confident that our programs will continue without interruption and that the PCRI will remain the leading organization for offering in-depth, useful prostate cancer information to patients, their families, and their physicians.”

Glenn Weaver first joined the PCRI in 1998 as a consultant to plan and oversee the PCRI’s first national conference. He accepted the position as Program Director in 1999, expanding PCRI programs and funding opportunities, and he became Executive Director in 2001. Under his leadership, the PCRI staged both national and regional conferences, attracting many of the leading experts in the prostate cancer field both to speak at the conferences and to submit articles for publication in the PCRI Insights newsletter. During this period, the PCRI Helpline and Website became widely recognized as important information sources for men with prostate cancer and their families. Today, the PCRI continues to be staffed and organized to carry out its fundamental mission:

“To improve the quality of men’s lives by supporting research and disseminating information that educates and empowers prostate cancer patients, families, and the medical community.”

Brad Guess is emphatic that the PCRI will continue to be driven by that mission and will build on the accomplishments made during Glenn Weaver’s tenure. “I am inspired and excited to join with the dedicated staff, board members and supporters of PCRI in continuing to fulfill their mission to the prostate cancer community. I am confident that the unique services and resources that the PCRI offers, such as the Helpline, Insights newsletter, our Website and patient conferences will continue to flourish. I am also excited about new programming and research we are working on (especially for patients with advanced prostate cancer) that should be of real value to patients, their families and medical providers.”

We wish Glenn much success in his future endeavors and thank him for his contributions to the PCRI and prostate cancer community over the last 7 years.
