March is #braininjuryawarenessmonth?? BIAG is spotlighting our amazing staff! Jane Jackson is BIAG. There is no way to separate her and all she has done from the organization. We are who we are today because of the tireless efforts and hours of blood, sweat, and tears Jane has given to our community. Jane came to BIAG as a caregiver when her husband Waring survived a motorcycle accident that left him with a TBI. Both she and Waring became enthusiastic volunteers and supporters and Jane became our Executive Director. She was a staff of one for decades, often working 80+ hours a week because she wouldn't let anyone slip through the cracks or get lost in the red tape. In 2021, after seeing BIAG through the difficult pandemic years, Jane moved from Executive Director to help our Resource Facilitation Program get off the ground, Today, we are entering our 4th year of the RF Program and it is growing daily. We are so lucky to have Jane as our Senior Consultant/Advisor to the board and statewide to our community!
