ADRP Information
Board Liaisons
In order to establish a direct communication link with other professional organizations involved in the recruitment of blood, tissue, organ, marrow and blood stem cells, ADRP invites representatives of these organizations to serve as liaisons on the ADRP board.
Selection of Board Liaisons is based on several factors including recommendations from the ADRP Board or members, demonstrated interest from individuals, current and/or past active participation in ADRP. The liaisons are asked to attend a minimum of two board meetings per year. Liaisons outside North America are required to attend board meetings at least once a year.
