Distinguished Speakers Bureau
AERI is proud to introduce the community to our Distinguished Speakers Bureau, a consortium comprised of AERI leaders who are passionate and informed on a variety of topics and resources related to behavioral health diagnoses, autism spectrum disorders (ASD), evidence-based treatments, community supports, advocacy and more. The development of our bureau allows us to educate, mentor and empower.
We envision that trainings and presentations developed by our speakers will provide a venue to foster new conversations, create new insights, and renew inspiration to our audience. We believe that our leadership, in partnership with the community, can cultivate positive change and lead others to embrace community resources. Truly, together we can make a difference.
