 Since
the organization’s inception in 1999, the International Association
for Organ Donation (a 501 c (3) non-profit organization), has been
active in organ, tissue, and bone marrow donations in the minority
communities of southeast Michigan and has enrolled 8,240
people, as of the end 0f 2005, to the Michigan Donor Registry.
The IAOD is committed to continuing our efforts to educate as many
individuals as possible concerning the enormous need for organ
donors.
Our primary targets are the largest ethnic communities most affected
by the disparity between donors and recipients. These communities
include the Arab/Chaldean, African, Asian and Hispanic American
communities.
Through our relationships with major corporations, higher education
institutions, community leaders, social service and religious
groups, as well as health care affiliates, the IAOD is able to
expand our audience and continually develop new ways to broaden our
approach and techniques to provide valuable information to the
public.
The organization is comprised of a full time staff, a 30 member
board of trustees and many volunteers varying from diverse
professional backgrounds in healthcare, business, education and
government.
