Michael Jones, Chief Information Officer of the National Marrow Donor Program^® (NMDP), has been named a CIO of the Year in the nonprofit category by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal.

Jones joined the NMDP in April 2007 and leads the Information Technology (IT) department, which is responsible for all of the systems that supports the NMDP’s business and technology needs.
