BIA-MA has a program presenter position opening for the Brains at Risk Department.
Brains At Risk is an effective education and awareness court-referral program that links the choices made behind the wheel to the devastating effects of traumatic brain injury.  Created by the Brain Injury Association of Massachusetts, Brains At Risk is designed to promote responsible driving and raise awareness of TBI in order to prevent fatalities and serious injury on Massachusetts roads.
