ABC CollABOrate Communities

Forums

ABC Forums are collective groups of individuals at member blood centers segmented by job function (e.g., quality, communications, human resources, technical/laboratory, etc.). All employees of ABC member blood centers are encouraged to join forums in their specific disciplines to receive discipline-related information from ABC and participate in town hall-like conference calls.
