Advisory Board

What is the Operation TBI Freedom Advisory Board?

The Operation TBI Freedom (OTF) Advisory Board is made up of a variety of professionals from the traumatic brain injury (TBI) and veteran services fields, veterans with TBI and family members of veterans with TBI. The purpose of the advisory board is to offer guidance and input regarding program services to ensure that OTF isn’t duplicating services already available in the community and that our services are meeting the needs of veterans and their families.
