The Ohio Brain Injury Advisory Committee (BIAC) is a statewide advisory board made up of 10-12 individuals representing specific membership categories as defined in Ohio Revised Code Section 3335.61. These seats are held by members who are appointed by the dean of the College of Medicine at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center for a two year, renewable terms.
Appointed members are joined by the director, or designee, of the following state departments: Department of Health, Ohio Department of Behavioral Health, Ohio Department of Medicaid, Department of Developmental Disabilities, Department of Job and Family Services, Department of Public Safety, Bureau of Workers' Compensation, Ohio Department of Education and Workforce, Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities, and the Department of Aging. Additionally, honorary members and volunteers also serve on the BIAC.
