The next OTS educational/support meeting will be held on Friday, January 9, 2026. This meeting will be held on Zoom, starting at 7pm CST. The topic of this meeting is an update on Current Activities in the World of Donation and Transplantation.
The speaker for this meeting will be Mr. Ira Cooperman, a Vice President for TRIO, the Transplant Recipients International Organization, an international non-profit organization for transplant recipients and their families. Ira will review a number of activities going on with organ, eye and tissue donation and transplantation. This will include issues in the legislative and administrative areas, including a review of OPTN modernization.
In addition, Ira will give an overview of recent activities in the science and medicine of transplantation that continue to advance the practice. Finally, he will discuss several efforts by national groups to overcome the serious press issues that have been raised in the last 6 months that have compromised registration and donation rates.
Currently, Ira Cooperman serves as Vice-President for TRIO, Transplant Recipients International Organization, and is chair of the Public Policy Committee. On a personal basis, Ira has been a volunteer on behalf of organ donation and transplantation for more than 25 years, since his spouse received a simultaneous kidney/pancreas transplant n June 1999.
