Donor Alliance Named Top Colorado Workplace by Denver Post
Donor Alliance, the federally designated nonprofit that facilitates organ and tissue donation in Colorado and most of Wyoming, is pleased to announce that it has been selected as one of The Denver Post’s Workplace Achievers for 2015. This is the second year in a row that Donor Alliance has been recognized in the Post’s annual awards.

The employee survey is conducted by WorkplaceDynamics, LLP, a leading research firm on organizational health and employee engagement. WorkplaceDynamics conducts regional Top Workplaces programs with 40 major publishing partners across the United States.
