AOPO’s Advocacy Days in Washington D.C.

CEO Susan Gunderson and Director of Partner Relations Susan Mau Larson traveled to Washington D.C. and discussed the impact of donation with our senators and representatives.

On a semi-annual basis, the Association of Organ Procurement Organizations (AOPO) hosts its Advocacy Days in our nation’s capital. From April 10 – 11, 2019 CEO Susan Gunderson and Director of Partner Relations Susan Mau Larson traveled to Washington D.C. and discussed the impact of donation.

Both met with our regional senators and several local representatives and found champions to raise awareness for organ, eye and tissue donation in our local communities. With our legislator’s support, our team has activated several programs to honor a donor’s decision over the years.
