Melissa Sabus

Melissa Sabus has been in the drug and alcohol screening industry for nearly 25 years in a variety of leadership roles. She started as the operations manager for the drug testing division of a background screening company, HR Plus. Over the next 15 years, she oversaw the expansion and growth of that division, increasing revenue and reaching 20 percent of overall company revenue. During this time, HR Plus went through three acquisitions and five software platform transitions, ultimately being acquired by Sterling Infosystems. Participation in industry associations was a priority for knowledge and networking, and Mel achieved both her individual CSAPA certification which she still maintains, and the company earned their DATIA-NAADATP certification. She has played an integral part in the development and implementation of numerous in-house and off-the-shelf system designs, integrations, and conversions. For the last 10 years, she has worked with Denver-based i3screen, currently serving as the Vice President of Strategic Initiatives. In this role, Mel works directly with TPAs and CRAs, providing training, overseeing communication, and collaborating to improve processes and software functionality. She readily shares her knowledge with customers on testing technologies, DOT drug and alcohol regulations, occupational health screening services, and other workplace testing programs. In addition, Mel is Chair of NDASA’s Conference Committee and has been instrumental in planning the association’s Annual Conference and Trade Show since its first year.
