ABI Task Force President,
Harold Johnson
An Open Invitation to Join
the Task Force
Dear Potential Task Force Member,
The Wyoming Acquired Brain Injury Task Force
was developed by the state of Wyoming Department of Health, Division
of Developmental Disabilities, to provide input for the development
of the Acquired Brain Injury Waiver. The Task Force membership
includes DDD staff, the Brain Injury Association of Wyoming, service
providers, people with brain injuries, and their families.
In the spring of 2005, the state of Wyoming
was awarded a Health Resource Services Administration (HRSA) grant
for planning brain injury system changes. In January surveys were
sent to providers, survivors, and families. This data was reviewed
at Task Force meetings and planning began on an Acquired Brain
Injury Action Plan. In order to complete a comprehensive plan, the
Task Force would like to expand membership to include neurosurgeons,
neuropsychologists, neurologists, educators, minorities, veterans,
other professionals, and more brain injury survivors and their
families.
We would like to invite you or your designee
to participate as we plan and mobilize to fill gaps in providing
services for those with acquired brain injuries in Wyoming. By
getting involved now, you have the opportunity to share your
concerns, needs, wants, and dreams in order to improve services for
this underserved population.
All task force meetings are open to the
public.
Your travel, food, and lodging can be
reimbursed through the Task Force. If your agency pays these
expenses, their contribution will be considered as an in-kind
contribution. You will need to make your own hotel reservations. If
you are a new applicant for membership in the Task Force, please
RSVP so that we can reserve enough space.
Contact Page Fagan, ABI Task Force Coordinator
at 1(800)643-6457 or email him at
abitaskforce@tribcsp.com
if you are planning to attend the meeting. If you are unable to
travel, we can arrange for telephone contact throughout the meeting.
You may also send a letter or email with your suggestions and ideas.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward
to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Page Fagan
Acquired Brain Injury Task Force Coordinator
