Commissioners proclaim lung cancer screening awareness month and recognize Alpha Kappa Alpha chapter anniversary
Summary
At the Nov. 5 meeting commissioners declared November as Lung Cancer Screening Awareness Month and designated Dec. 7 to honor a local Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority chapter's anniversary; the transcript's chapter name and anniversary number are unclear in the communications recap.
Hillsborough County commissioners used part of their Nov. 5 meeting to issue two proclamations, county communications staffer Katie said.
The board declared Nov. 2023 as Lung Cancer Screening Awareness Month; Katie noted that lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among both men and women in the United States and said the county supports early detection and funding for lung cancer research.
The board also declared Dec. 7 a day to celebrate a chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and its anniversary. The transcript provided in the recap lists the chapter and anniversary wording unclearly; the communications message did not include a clear chapter name or the precise anniversary number.
Next steps: proclamations are ceremonial recognitions; no formal county policy action was attached to either declaration in the communications recap.
