BHI Strategic Planning Committee
The Brain Health Institute (BHI) is embarking on a planning and priority-setting process to develop a strategic plan that will guide the Institute’s growth and success for years to come. In the Fall 2023, we have assembled a Strategic Planning Committee to steer this process and have begun to engage the membership at all levels during the BHI Symposium in November.
