The Nevada Donor Network has announced the following senior leadership promotions.
Tyre Gray, Esq. joins the Nevada Donor Network as chief administration officer.
As NDN’s chief administrative officer, Gray will join the Senior Leadership Team and oversee and manage the organization’s administrative operations, while supporting the organization’s mission to lead the advancement of healthcare in Nevada and assist with its longstanding goal of creating a full-scale transplant institute to expand the state’s current transplant capabilities and ultimately save more lives through the gift of organ, eye, and tissue donation.
“As a kidney transplant recipient, I cannot think of a more meaningful way to honor the gift of life provided to me by the donor and their family than by dedicating my time, talent, and passion to NDN,” said Gray. In his mid-20’s, Gray discovered he was living with chronic kidney disease and was placed on the transplant waiting list. As his health began to fail, Gray made the choice to persevere and pursued a law degree at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas’ Boyd School of Law. Almost a decade after diagnosis, Gray received his gift of life, a kidney transplant. While in recovery, Gray went on to graduate near the top of his class, pass the bar in three states, and join a top regional law firm.
