WHY DO ADRP Members Attend the Conference...
1--To Learn from Each Other
At the May Conference in Halifax, two member centers provided conference attendees with creative ways they overcome the traditional decrease in blood donors during the summer months.
2--For the Networking and Great Education Sessions
This is the first time for me to join ADRP annual conference. The conference is worth traveling around half the earth for 26 hours. I've learned much and felt that we face the same difficulties. The passion and efforts of all attendees will make our world better. Salute to all who recruit.

The exchange of information and ideas at the 2008 ADRP conference has proved to be invaluable to the betterment of my donor center. With three years of recruitment experience under my belt, I feel as though I learned tips from the seasoned veterans on what to do when you have hit a creative road block in the recruitment of donors. See you in Florida ADRP!
