Meetings are held twice per year and are open to all BEST Members. Member attendance and participation at these meetings is highly encouraged and allows the opportunity for highly productive discussions. Meetings will be held whenever reasonably feasible in conjunction with professional society meetings commonly attended by members.

An invited guest of a current BEST Member may attend an individual BEST Meeting with pre-approval of the current President. Approvals are required for EACH meeting regardless of location and include virtual attendance as well.

A call for Scientific Membership occurs every four years. The last call was held in Spring 2022, and the application period closed in June 2022, after which time the Board of Directors will make their selections. The new 4-year term will begin following the conclusion of the September 2022 meeting.

Individuals who are members of organizations interested in becoming sponsoring members should view the information HERE.

Any commercial organization or Blood Service interested in advancing the mission of BEST may become a supporter of BEST by paying the annual dues amount and providing a Member at meetings to participate in discussions.

More details may be found HERE.
