BIAOH BOARD ELECTIONS
Each fall at BIAOH’s Annual Membership Meeting, the Chair of the
Nominating/Leadership Development Committee presents a slate of
candidates for 2-year terms of office on the Association’s Board of
Trustees beginning the following January. This year was no different,
and in accordance with BIAOH’s bylaws, Nominating/Leadership Development
Committee Chair, Jerry Friedman, presented the slate on the evening of
September 17 at the University Plaza Hotel in Columbus. Though none
were offered, Friedman also provided members in attendance the
opportunity to made nominations from floor before the slate was accepted
as presented.
The slate consists of nominees
for President, Jon Fishpaw (Cincinnati); Second Vice President, John
Calior (Vienna near Youngstown); Secretary, Anthon Brooks (Columbus);
and Members-at-Large, Brian Dunlap (Cleveland), Jackie Stanton
(Cleveland), and Shawn Sullivan (Akron). Of these candidates, five
currently serve on the Board and are running for additional terms of
office. In Anthon Brooks’ case, he is running for Secretary after
serving a 2-year term in a Member-at-Large position.
On Tuesday, October 7, 2008,
ballots were mailed to BIAOH’s paid members, along with statements
prepared by the candidates with background information about themselves,
their interest in serving on BIAOH’s Board of Trustees, and the
leadership they hope to provide to advance BIAOH’s mission to “create a
better future through brain injury prevention, research, education and
advocacy”. (Click

BIAOH is a non-profit corporation guided by a
Board of Trustees which includes
substantial numbers of consumers, both individuals with brain injury and family members.
Volunteers represented on the Board, as well as those connected with a state-wide network
of over 5O support groups, work in collaboration with association staff (currently
9 FTEs)
to accomplish the organization's mission. Additionally, in the Cincinnati and
Dayton areas, chapters affiliated with BIAOH also provide services and supports, and work
to promote prevention.
BIAOH's closest partner is the Brain Injury Advisory Committee (BIAC),
formerly known as the Head Injury Advisory Council (HIAC),
housed within the Ohio Rehabilitation Services Commission. In 1990, BIAOH was successful
in advancing legislation to create the HIAC, which serves as the state-level planning and
coordinating body for Ohio's citizens with brain injury. Its members include
representatives from key state agencies (such as the Ohio Departments of Mental
Retardation and Developmental Disabilities, Health, and Mental Health), medical and
rehabilitation professionals, BIAOH, and individual consumer representatives. Since 1994,
BIAOH and BIAC have collaborated to develop and implement combined strategic plans. BIAOH
also strives to collaborate with other disability and prevention advocacy groups to
exchange information and advance common goals.
