SPEAKERS

 

Madelyn Clark is a Partner Relations Coordinator at Iowa Donor Network, where she has been a dedicated team member for four years. In her role, she fosters relationships with healthcare partners, as well as supports the organization's mission to enhance the gift of organ and tissue donation across Iowa. She is a graduate from the University of Iowa and holds a dual degree in Psychology and English & Creative Writing. Her commitment to organ and tissue donation is deeply personal, inspired by her family’s experiences. Madelyn's grandfather, uncle, and brother have all been directly impacted by the life-saving work of organ donation, fueling her passion for advocating this vital cause.

 

Steve Frantz, Partner Relations Coordinator at Iowa Donor Network, is deeply committed to our mission of Working Together to Transform lives Through the Gift of Organ and Tissue Donation. A graduate of the University of Iowa School of Fine Arts, Steve first found the calling to donation when in 2009 his dear friend’s daughter of nine years-old received an emergency liver transplant. His desire to be directly involved in donation advocacy finally came to fruition in 2022 with Iowa Donor Network.
