In a collaborative initiative to highlight accomplishments and address the gaps in service for returning troops, the North American Brain Injury Society (NABIS) and the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) convened a summit meeting in Washington, DC, on November 2-3, 2007 at the Latham Hotel in Washington, DC. The working groups worked hard to prepare a consensus document that is currently being edited by Michael Mason and will be posted on this website soon.
