His dedication to BIAV extended to serving as an intern during high school, where he assisted with marketing as well as the coordination of the annual Charity Golf Tournament, which he has participated in since its inception in 2004.” Joining the Board in 2022, Mr. Cantor has showcased a deep commitment to the organization’s mission and objectives. Notably, for the past two years, he has been the emcee for the annual Legacy Awards Dinner, further contributing to the success and visibility of BIAV events.
Mr. Cantor’s recent remarks about this new role underscore his passion and dedication to the families affected by brain injury: “I am honored by the Board’s trust in me to serve as President. I am excited to help BIAV continue to achieve its mission to advance education, awareness, support, treatment, and research to improve the quality of life for all people affected by brain injury. As a trial lawyer specializing in brain injury, I see every day the many struggles my clients and their families face as a result of brain injury. As BIAV President, I pledge to advocate and fight for all Virginia families affected by brain injury.”
