A six-month, peer-to-peer learning experience built exclusively for eye bank Executive Directors and CEOs. Meet monthly with fellow leaders to work through the field's toughest challenges, including tissue supply, regulation, reimbursement, workforce, and industry disruption, in candid, facilitated discussion. October 2026 through April 2027, virtual.
Executive Director Cohort
Shared obstacles. Shared strategies. A facilitated space to work through eye banking's toughest challenges with the peers who understand them best.
Eye banking's hardest challenges rarely come with clear answers. Tissue supply, regulation, reimbursement, workforce, and a fast-changing field are pressures that Executive Directors carry every day, often without a peer who truly understands the role.
The Eye Bank Association of America (EBAA) Executive Director Cohort is a facilitated discussion group built exclusively for eye bank Executive Directors and CEOs. Across six monthly sessions, you'll work through the profession's biggest challenges alongside leaders facing the same pressures, sharing what's working, comparing approaches, and brainstorming ways forward together.
This isn't a lecture series, and it won't hand you tidy fixes to problems the whole field is still working through. What it gives you is a trusted network of peers, honest conversation you can find nowhere else, and practical ideas you can take back to run your eye bank more effectively. Each session opens with a Topic Leader who frames the discussion, and an experienced facilitator then guides a peer-driven conversation that keeps every voice involved.
Who It's For
This cohort is built exclusively for eye bank Executive Directors and CEOs. Limiting the room to top leaders keeps the conversation candid and confidential, and keeps every discussion focused on the decisions only you have to make. It is a dedicated space to support you as you lead through a demanding and evolving profession.
Learning Objectives
- Examine the strategic and operational challenges facing eye bank leadership today through structured discussion with peers.
- Exchange practical approaches and lessons learned with fellow EDs and CEOs facing similar pressures.
- Reflect on your organization's position and identify ideas to bring back to your board and team.
What We'll Cover
- Month 1 — Operations and Governance: the board-staff relationship, executive accountability, translating financial health for board audiences, and governance frameworks for eye bank leadership.
- Month 2 — Tissue Supply: Donor Volume, Surgeon Selectivity & Stewardship: balancing stewardship of the gift with varied surgeon standards, managing cancellations and discard rates, setting realistic expectations with surgical partners, and building logistics resilience.
- Month 3 — Regulatory Reality and Reimbursement: leading through regulatory ambiguity, communicating change without creating burnout, understanding the reimbursement landscape, and advocating within external policy frameworks.
- Month 4 — Workforce: Staffing, Retention, and Culture: retention within nonprofit constraints, staff wellbeing in a 24/7 recovery environment, cross-training versus burnout, and preserving institutional knowledge.
- Month 5 — Industry Disruption: competing on value in a consolidating market, navigating emerging therapies, adopting new technology without disruption, and positioning for a future with fewer traditional transplants.
- Month 6 — Hot Topics and Wrap-Up: topics shaped by the cohort — the questions and themes members most want to revisit before we close.
Format & Dates
Six 90-minute virtual sessions, one per month on the third Wednesday, 2:00–3:30 PM ET. Each session opens with a short (about 20-minute) framing from a Topic Leader, followed by facilitated peer discussion.
Session Date Month 1 October 21, 2026 Month 2 November 18, 2026 Month 3 January 20, 2027 Month 4 February 17, 2027 Month 5 March 17, 2027 Month 6 April 21, 2027 What's Included

Join us for a dashboard showcase with lots of time for Q&A on PowerBI and Tableau.
At the Annual Meeting, the "All About the Data" panel looked at several ways to present eye bank data, including Excel, Power BI, Tableau, and iTransplant. This interactive webinar picks up where that conversation ended and goes deeper into two of those tools: Power BI and Tableau.
After a short introduction, attendees will choose a breakout room for either Power BI or Tableau and see how dashboards are built and maintained. You'll hear from two perspectives: the end users who rely on dashboards to make day-to-day decisions, and the data analysts who design, build, and update them. Bring your questions. The breakout format leaves plenty of time for discussion.
This session is a good one to share with your IT staff as well as your technical staff. Whether you're thinking about adopting one of these tools or trying to get more out of the one you already use, you'll leave with practical ideas for turning your eye bank's data into clear, useful dashboards.
Who should attend: eye bank IT staff, data analysts, technical staff, quality and operations managers, and anyone who uses or produces data reports.
Learning objectives: by the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Describe how Power BI and Tableau can be used to show eye bank data.
- Explain the key steps involved in building and maintaining a dashboard.
- Identify how end users and data analysts work together to make dashboards effective.

Move beyond traditional validation practices and learn how CSA is transforming software validation for regulated organizations. This session will show you how to focus on what matters most, partner effectively with vendors, and confidently validate AI-enabled quality systems without compromising compliance.
For many Quality teams, software validation has become synonymous with mountains of documentation and endless testing. Add AI features into the mix, and it's easy to see why validation can feel more complicated than ever.
But it doesn’t have to be.
In this session, we'll explore how Computer Software Assurance (CSA) is changing the way regulated organizations approach software validation. You'll learn how to replace excessive documentation with a streamlined, risk-based approach that keeps compliance front and center while cutting out unnecessary effort. We'll also discuss where software vendors can – and should – help lighten the validation workload, and how the same CSA principles can help you confidently validate AI-enabled software as these technologies become part of everyday quality operations.
Attendees will learn how to:
- Apply CSA principles to focus validation where it matters most.
- Understand how vendors and customers can share responsibility for a more efficient validation process.
- Approach AI-enabled software with a validation strategy that supports innovation without compromising compliance.

Register today to gain insight on both the clinical context and practical knowledge to adapt eye bank workflows to this evolving environment!
As donation after circulatory death (DCD) cases continue to rise, shifting the donor pool from an 80/20 to a near 60/40 split with brain death donation, normothermic regional perfusion (NRP) is becoming a standard part of the donor management landscape that eye banks need to understand. This webinar offers eye bank professionals a clear breakdown of brain death versus DCD, an explanation of NRP and its growing role in the organ donation community, and a focused look at how NRP affects ocular recovery timing, dispatch decisions, and OR coordination. Attendees will also hear emerging science on whether NRP perfusion reaches the corneas and what that could mean for tissue outcomes, leaving with both the clinical context and practical knowledge to adapt eye bank workflows to this evolving environment.

Join members of Rocketkoi, the team behind EBAA's website, for a look into ways to make your website work better for you and your audience.
Your website is often the first place donor families, surgeons, hospital partners, recruits, and the public go to learn about your eye bank. But a site that's hard to navigate, full of jargon, or indistinguishable from everyone else's can lose those visitors in seconds. In this webinar, the Rocketkoi team will share practical, field-tested strategies for building a website that serves your visitors and your organization's goals.
Whether you're starting from scratch, planning a redesign, or just want to get more out of the site you have, you'll leave with concrete ideas you can put to work right away. The session covers three core areas:
- Help visitors find what they're looking for. Structure navigation, menus, and page layouts around what your audiences need, so a surgeon looking for tissue request information and a donor family looking for support each get where they're going quickly.
- Help visitors understand what they're seeing. Use clear language, visual hierarchy, and purposeful design to make complex information easy to scan and act on, including for people who are new to eye banking.
- Show your unique value, authority, and expertise. Put your organization's impact, credibility, and story front and center so your site builds trust with partners, donors, and the community, and stands out in search results.
