Developing Chapters

In a continuing effort to re-construct and develop a larger network of chapters, TRIO seeks those individuals or groups who are interested in serving as contact points within their geographic areas.

To be listed as a "developing" chapter does not require a commitment to follow through by developing a chapter. This is simply a way for TRIO to provide a central contact point for those wishing to connect in various geographic areas. Chapter development may or may not occur, depending on the decisions of the support group serving as a contact point for transplant recipients and donors and donor families.

Please contact sleach@trioweb.org or call 1-800-TRIO-386 if you are interested in serving as an unofficial contact point in a geographic area or you are interested in starting a TRIO chapter in development.
