Plano resident Chad Black has been named the next Chief Executive Officer of Cancer Support Community North Texas, bringing fresh local leadership to one of the region’s most important nonprofit organizations dedicated to helping cancer patients and their families.

The announcement, reported by Local Profile, highlights a meaningful milestone for both the Plano community and the broader North Texas network of cancer support services. Cancer Support Community North Texas provides free emotional and social support — including counseling, support groups, educational workshops, and wellness programs — to people affected by cancer at no cost to participants.

Black’s appointment signals continued momentum for the organization as it works to expand its reach and deepen its impact across the region. Having a Plano community member at the helm strengthens the local connection between the nonprofit and the residents it serves throughout Collin County and beyond.

Cancer support organizations like this one play a vital role in filling gaps that medical treatment alone cannot address — helping patients navigate fear, isolation, and uncertainty while empowering families with the tools and community they need to cope. Leadership transitions like this one are an opportunity to renew that mission with energy and vision.

Plano has long been home to a vibrant culture of community service and nonprofit engagement, and Chad Black’s new role is a proud reflection of that spirit. Residents looking to learn more about Cancer Support Community North Texas — or to connect with its programs — can reach out to the organization directly to find out how to get involved or access services.
