Published on: Tuesday, July 1, 2025

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) is pleased to announce the results of the runoff election and election of Board Officers.

Following the conclusion of the national election, a tie occurred in the races for (1) the third OPO Representative on the OPTN Board of Directors and (2) the Associate Regional Councillor for Region 8. To resolve these ties, HRSA conducted a runoff election for both positions. In addition to the runoff election, the ballot included a slate for election of all Board officers: president, vice president, vice president of patient and donor affairs, treasurer, and secretary.

All voting representatives were invited to vote for all Board officers (president, vice president, vice president of patient and donor affairs, treasurer, and secretary), and the third organ procurement organization representative for the OPTN Board of Directors. Only Region 8 members who did not vote in the first election for Region 8 Associate Councillor were eligible to vote to break that tie. Voting occurred from June 20, 2025, to June 26, 2025.

The results of the runoff election and election of Board officers can be found on the OPTN Special Election web page.
