DENVER –June 4, 2007–Sue Dunn, president and CEO of Donor Alliance, was recently named as the Association of Organ Procurement Organization’s (AOPO) president - elect for the 2007-2008 term.

AOPO is a private, non-profit, national organization representing all federally designated organ procurement organizations (OPOs), otherwise recognized as Donate Life organizations. The association represents and serves OPOs through advocacy, support and development of activities that maximize the availability of organs and tissues and enhance the quality, effectiveness and integrity of the donation process. The executive committee of AOPO consists of seven elected officials – president, president-elect, medical advisor, secretary-treasurer, member-at-large, medical advisor-elect and immediate past president.

Sue Dunn has been president and CEO of Donor Alliance since October 2004, having served prior to that as the vice president of OPO operations/compliance and regulatory affairs in 2000 and earlier as the director of quality systems for Donor Alliance. Her previous professional career in organ procurement began in 1984 as an organ recovery coordinator for the American Red Cross in St. Paul, Minnesota and included subsequent positions as organ recovery coordinator and manager of hospital development, as well as assistant director for Colorado Organ Recovery Systems, a forerunner of Donor Alliance.

Dunn has served AOPO in numerous capacities, including service as chair of the annual meeting program committee (1995-2001), executive committee at-large member (2001-2002) and chair of the standards and accreditation committee (2005-2006). She has been an at-large representative for the OPTN/UNOS liver/intestine and pediatric committees and secretary of the NATCO Board of Directors. Dunn received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing from Creighton University and an MBA from Regis University, in Denver. She continues to maintain her nursing license and CPTC certification.
