Robert D. Voogt, Ph.D., chairman of the International Brain Injury Association and the North American Brain Injury Society, recently concluded his second visit to Cuba for the 2004 conference on rehabilitation from neurological disorders, sponsored by the International Center for Neurological Rehabilitation (CIREN), the International Brain Research Organization and the International Society for Neurochemistry.

The North American Brain Injury Society recently participated in the Congressional Brain Injury Task Force's 2003 Brain Injury Awareness Month Fair in Washington, DC. Former President Ronald Reagan designated October as Brain Injury Awareness Month. To honor the proclamation, the task force hosts public events in coordination with national and international organizations. NABIS representatives, along with those from 31 other organizations, presented a booth to educate the 69 members of the task force and their staffs on brain injury, emphasizing the need for a professional brain injury organization.
