Amber Barbach is the founder and director of the Glioblastoma Research Organization, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization raising awareness and funds for new global, cutting-edge research to find a cure for glioblastoma. Glioblastoma is an aggressive and treatment-resistant form of brain cancer that accounts for 48 percent of all primary malignant brain tumors.
Amber is originally from Miami. She has extensive expertise in community development and brand management after nearly a decade of working in branding partnerships and event marketing for global brands such as VanDutch, David Stark, V2 Jets, and Ultra Music Festival. She earned a bachelor's degree in communications and business administration from Florida International University and is currently pursuing a master's degree in nutrition education from American University.
In this episode, Amber explains the reason she was compelled to start this nonprofit, the importance of clinical trials and new research for brain cancer, tools and tips for nonprofit leaders who are early in their careers, and what some of her first encounters were like with major cancer centers that her nonprofit has provided funding for like the Cleveland Clinic, Lenox Hill Hospital and MD Anderson Cancer Center. Amber shares many lessons she has gathered first-hand which help nonprofit leaders be more effective at helping others, and she shares her personal why, habits, rituals and routines.
