Organization

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.
