BIAC Committees
The BIAC often seeks dedicated individuals who are not current council members to serve on its working committees. These committees help the Council give advice to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) about services and policies across the state. We welcome people who have personal experience with brain injury and those who have professional knowledge in related areas.
Committees are currently full. Vacancies will be posted here when available.
