The Alliance is launching the Transplant Administrator Coffee & Connections forum, a new initiative developed through the work of its National Transplant Leadership Council, designed to provide transplant administrators with a dedicated forum for peer engagement, collaboration, and shared learning.
Structured as a recurring virtual gathering, Coffee & Connections creates a space where executive-level transplant administrators can connect without the constraints of a formal agenda. The sessions are intentionally designed to encourage open, candid dialogue, allowing participants to discuss operational challenges, exchange insights, and learn from one another in a supportive and confidential environment. Participation involves a consistent yet manageable commitment with sessions taking place monthly, each lasting one hour, and conducted in a virtual format to maximize accessibility.
The kickoff session will take place on Monday, June 29 at 3:00 pm ET, with monthly sessions planned thereafter. Discussions will span a variety of operational topics, including program expansion (access to care), living donor growth, waitlist growth, referral volumes, and organ offer acceptance practices. In addition to the live monthly sessions, a Transplant Administrator Discussion Board will be introduced to support ongoing dialogue between meetings. This platform will allow participants to continue sharing questions, insights, and resources outside of scheduled sessions, further strengthening peer connection and continuity of discussion.
The initiative is tailored specifically for administrators actively serving in full-time operational leadership roles within transplant programs. Participation is limited to individuals directly overseeing transplant operations, ensuring a peer-only environment and excluding those serving in consulting, advisory, or industry-affiliated roles. This approach helps preserve a trusted setting where participants can speak openly and draw from shared experience.
By prioritizing connection over structure, Transplant Administrator Coffee & Connections reflects a growing emphasis on collaborative learning in transplant leadership. The initiative aims to strengthen professional networks while equipping administrators with practical insights to navigate the evolving demands of transplant program operations.
