Vermont Brain Injury Advisory Council

Vermont Brain Injury Advisory council

Interested in Being a Part of Our Advisory Council?

The Vermont Brain Injury Advisory Council supports the work of BIAVT and provides mission-based leadership. While BIAVT’s Director leads day-to-day operations, the Council-Director relationship is a partnership, and the appropriate involvement of the Council is both critical and expected.

Projects include:

  • Amending/Creating statewide Needs Assessment Surveys,
  • Input and discussions around brain injury services, care, and treatment in Vermont,
  • Shaping events and trainings for persons with a brain injury, their families and professionals in their communities.  

Please contact Jess Leal at jess@biavt.org if you would like to join!
