Primary global navigation
All
N/A
Continuous access to all site content categories. Categories are determined by Komen "business" activities (education, events & announcements, research, fundraising and advocacy) and their audiences. About Komen doesn't represent a specific category, but provides history and context for all activities. In an effort to encourage visitors to move across categories the previous version of Komen.org contained multiple links to pages in other sections sprinkled within each category. Going forward, a more systematic approach will be taken with "Related Links" widgets and other cross-section, lateral navigation methods.

Message Boards
All, Message Boards members
Web app
Message Boards link is distinct from category links, as it takes visitors to a web application that requires its own Sign In/Registration. There is an established base of visitors to this area, many of whom may not use other areas of the site. A long term goal is greater integration with relevant content in all of Komen.org and single sign-on through My Komen.
