The 2026–2029 ABC Strategic Plan
America’s Blood Centers (ABC) advocates for and advances policies that promote the role of independent blood centers in providing life-saving blood components and recognize the continuous need for a safe and robust blood supply.
The ABC Strategic Plan was developed with input from ABC members, Committee leaders, and the ABC Board of Directors and is intended to guide the association's work over the next three years.
The 2026–2029 ABC Strategic Plan is built on three key pillars:
- Champion Blood Advocacy
- Innovate Workforce Development
- Lead the Donor Conversation
This is our vision and commitment to be the nimble and innovative voice of our members.
