OFFICERS

Dear Conference Attendees:

Martha Nield Chairperson Northville, MI

Welcome to the Brain Injury Association of Michigan’s 38th Annual Conference , held in conjunction with the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council. The Conference Planning Committee has been hard at work over the past year to ensure the success of this educational program, which continues to be the largest conference of its kind in the nation. The next two days will feature experts in brain injury rehabilitation from across the state, as well as guest speakers from all corners of the country. We are certain that you will enjoy their presentations. Please give them a warm welcome. The exhibit hall is filled with many who have attended past conferences. We also extend a warm welcome to new exhibitors to this year’s conference. Please take the time to visit the exhibitors in the exhibit hall; we know you will enjoy talking with them about the products and services they offer. Also, please let them know how much you appreciate their support of the Brain Injury Association and our members. Our featured keynote speaker on Thursday is Amy Blankson. Amy, bestselling author of The Future of Happiness, is a member of the UN Global Happiness Council, Fellow of the World Innovation Organization, TEDx speaker, a regular contributor for Forbes on Women, Technology, and Leadership, and a featured professor in Oprah’s Happiness course. She currently works with the IEEE to create standards for well-being in the creation of artificial intelligence and emotion awareness. Since graduating from Harvard College and Yale’s School of Management, Amy has professionally focused on understanding cultivating happiness in a digital era. On Friday, please join us as our Keynote Speaker, Chris Ulmer shares his insights. He is the guiding force behind the Special Books by the Special Kids (SBSK) blog. A Penn State grad, Chris was student teaching and fell in love with the intelligence and humor displayed by his special education students. After six months of sharing Facebook videos featuring those students, SBSK had gained 150,000 followers. That led to neurodiverse people around the world asking to be interviewed, and soon SBSK demanded Chris’s full-time effort. Now an internationally renowned speaker, Chris is proud that the Special Books by Special Kids community has surpassed 2.5 million members and is the world’s leading neurodiversity movement. Your commitment to supporting the mission of the Brain Injury Association of Michigan is demonstrated by your attendance and participation at this year’s Conference. We thank you for your dedication to this important work, which directly affects the lives of vulnerable people in our great state. On behalf of brain injury survivors, their families, the Brain Injury Association of Michigan board of directors and staff, as well as the Michigan Brain Injury Provider Council, thank you and, once again, welcome to the 38th Annual Fall Conference.
