History of VCRA
In 1979 a group of about ten individuals banded together to create an organization (Virginia Tumor Registrars Association) of persons who compiled information about cancer patients. These registrars' task was to gather cancer patient data and submit it to the Virginia Tumor Registry within the Department of Health. Since its inception, the organization has held an educational fall conference rotating around the state. In 1995, the association voted to change its name to the Virginia Cancer Registrars Association.


Currently, our dues are $25 and we offer all new CTR's a free one year membership. We also have a drawing for one free membership to NCRA at the end of each year and included in our budget is a $1,000 honarium for the President to attend the NCRA conference. We are always striving to improve VCRA and the world of cancer registrars in Virginia, for it is our professional organization. It is ours to build and to keep vital.
