Insights & Takeaways from Impact Forum 2024

We urge you to keep the momentum with what you learned at the Navy SEAL Foundation’s Impact Forum. What you do with the knowledge, interactions, and connections made at the Impact Forum propel our work.

Presenter Sandi Chapman, Ph.D is leading by example. Sandi is the Chief Director at the Center for BrainHealth and Distinguished Professor at the University of Texas at Dallas. Read what she is doing in her sphere of influence:

  • The talks and personal exchanges between sessions increased the urgency I felt of getting Left of Boom before injury. Based on the scientific presentations of all that can go wrong to injure the brain, we are doubling down on commitment to find funding to launch a longitudinal Warrior BrainHealth Project to measure, train and build brain resilience and reserve from the outset throughout the lifespan. We have the science. We have solutions. We just need the Will to optimize brain health and performance to benefit our Service members and their families at every life phase as they put their lives on the line for us.
  • We made a great connection with EOD. I want to forge collaborations with EOD so we can give their members brain health protocols to optimize their brain resilience and recovery. We must support their members to the highest level possible as they also put their life daily on the lines alongside our service members, often without the same level of funding for brain health care.
  • The impact of getting to meet General Fenton and the Navy SEAL Foundation commitment to work with our Member Nations was inspiring. We made great connections with folks from Canada, Denmark and Australia and want to find proactive and productive ways to partner.
