"Mission:

Our mission is to be the voice of brain injury. Through advocacy, education and research, we bring help, hope and healing to millions of individuals living with brain injury, their families and the professionals who serve them. 

Guiding Principles

1. We value strong leadership.

We expect Board members to be fully engaged in BIAA's mission. We set high standards for management and staff. State affiliate leaders are an integral part of our organization; we value their ""on the ground"" experience in shaping plans and policy decisions.

2. We serve the entire field.

We respect the dignity and worth of all people. We encourage individuals with brain injury and their family members to participate in BIAA in meaningful ways while welcoming the perspectives of researchers, clinicians and other professionals. We value the accomplishments of those who came before us and embrace the next generation of leaders who will pursue BIAA's mission with urgency and excellence.

3. We act with integrity while functioning as a business.

We seek transparency in our communications and agility in our operations. At all times, we strive to be a growth-oriented, metrics-driven organization employing technology and entrepreneurial approaches to achieve BIAA’s mission. We foster mutually-beneficial relationships with other organizations that share our goals. "
