BIASC Welcomes Three New Board Members
BIASC is excited to welcome three new members to our Board of Directors. Each brings unique strengths and perspectives—from personal survivor stories to professional expertise in medicine, caregiving, and advocacy—that will help advance our mission of creating a better future through brain injury prevention, research, education, and advocacy. Together, their combined experiences will strengthen our efforts to support survivors and their families, expand awareness, and build a stronger community of care across South Carolina.
