When my staff and I attended the Coleman Institute Technology Conference last year, we heard a presentation by Alice and were very impressed. We would love to participate in
this conversation. Is it going to be a webinar or is she coming to Columbus?
Myself and at least one other from FCRS can attend in-person, but would you consider putting this on video-conference – I have a couple of staff who wouldn’t be able to attend,
but would love to participate via SKYPE.
Thanks for your consideration.

Subject: A conversation with Alice Brouhard
As mentioned on last week’s OPRA Members Only update call, we are hosting a conversation with Alice Brouhard, on July 7th from 1:30 – 3:00pm. This will be an informal
conversation with Alice, who is a pioneer in the use of readily-available technology to enable her daughter to live independently in the community. Here’s her presenter bio from the Coleman Institute:
Alice Brouhard is a pioneer of the technology used to enable people with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) to lead more independent lives in the home, the community, and the workforce. Her daughter,
Kara, sustained a severe TBI at age five. Despite having many challenges, because of technology, Kara lives in her own home. Brouhard has been an early adapter of technology, using it since 1989 to help support Kara's independence. Described as an iPad
Ninja, Brouhard has broadened her interest and expertise to reach out to those adults who wish to "age in place" and to their families.
Active as an RN and in many technology focused groups, she currently serves on the Assistive Technology Coalition through the University of Colorado School of Medicine and is a sought after speake
at both aging and disability conferences.
If you are interested in joining us, please email me directly at
mdavis@opra.org. I think it will be time well-spent.
Thanks.
