ational Donor Day, Feb. 14, 2022, is almost here. This year, we encourage you to share your donor hero stories from your local community in a creative way (i.e., display at your office, local newspaper article, etc.). Please submit your entries to egonzales@mwtn.org. MTN will share all entries on our social media pages, and we will give a special treat to participating offices. Submissions are due by Wednesday, Feb. 9, at 5 p.m.
National Donate Life Month
W
e are just a couple of months away from National Donate Life Month in April. We will be sending your office a package with printed materials, promotional items and a token of appreciation for all of your staff. We will share more information about contests and spirit week activities via the You Are Key at the DMV Facebook group (facebook.com/groups/youarekey); we will also send this information via email to your office contact. We are excited for a month of fun activities that help promote the mission of saving and enhancing lives. We look forward to partnering with all of you to help us celebrate these gifts of life and continue to share this lifesaving message. If you are interested in having an MTN volunteer Ambassador come out to your office to host a donation awareness booth, please email your Donor Designation Coordinator, egonzales@mwtn.org, to coordinate.
f you are in one of the licensing, treasury or Department of Revenue offices in the state of Kansas, you may have noticed that we have moved from two donation-related questions to one. The reason behind this change is to help ensure that those who wish to be registered donors will have their donor designation be known both through the state donor registry and the donor symbol added to their state credential. This will help eliminate any confusion on what their current registry status is, and it will also help ensure that their wishes are carried out should the opportunity arise. Thank you for asking this question of all your patrons to help ensure that they have the opportunity to designate their donation decision. If you have any questions about this change, please contact your Donor Designation Coordinator, Elizabeth Gonzales-Manns, at egonzales@mwtn.org.
