Again, they've always been a great source for us in terms of accurate and appropriate information.

But my friend Susan Mel Larson, who I've known, I always like to say I've known her for two centuries, for the 20th and the 21st century.

But we'll let that go.

She is the chief administrative officer for LifeSource.

And then Sarah Son, who is the director of communications.

for LifeSource and who has been able to provide us with a lot of great information and work for the community around this particular topic.

So what I wanted to do was to allow them to introduce themselves and then frame the conversation.

And then what Stan and I and Barry will do is we'll begin to ask them some questions.

So ladies, your turn.

Wonderful.

Wonderful.

I want to ask a question.

I know that, again, we'll go back to that 55% people that have signed up, but I understand the majority of Americans are in favor of organ and tissue donation, and yet we only have 55%, you know, that have signed up.

So can you talk a little bit more about that?

I mean, what are some of the issues, the barriers, or the thoughts that people are having?

So Susan, I want to ask you a question.

I know you are the chief administration officer at LifeSource, but you have done a lot.

I mean, I kind of joked about our journey, because I am a community member.

And I'm dealing with a very, very clinical, you know, medical kind of organization.

Why don't you talk about your journey with community in terms of your engagement?
