Brief Bio

Jenna Dumas is the Manager of Community Development at Nevada Donor Network for southern Nevada and has worked with them collectively for nearly 15 years. She developed a passion for the world of transplantation while working as a tissue and ocular recovery technician.

Dumas also has over 10 years of forensic experience. Working at the Office of the Clark County Coroner’s Office, she realized that many organizations work together daily to provide some sort of service for grieving families and saw a need for alignment between the agencies. She was able to utilize her previous relationship and understanding of the needs of the Office of the Clark County Coroner’s Office to further develop a unique partnership and improve the medical examiner’s trust within the donation community. In 2016, she took on a new role with Nevada Donor Network with the mission of focusing on improving and aligning out of hospital partnerships. Since then, she has added over 50 partnerships and several successful, collaborative program outreach efforts that include hospices, funeral homes, and law enforcement agencies.
