Innovation in stroke rehab - Who Will Do It??

This is so pathetic that all these important stroke organizations don't have any strategy or plan for how to get better stroke rehab for the next 10-50 years. If we don't plan for the future we'll just muddle through and accomplish nothing.
Here is a list of organizations and their presidents/directors. We all need to contact them and demand many seats at the strategy table.
(Dr. Tomaselli(American Stroke Association)
Mr. Baranski(National Stroke Association)
Story C. Landis(National Institute Neurological Disorders and Stroke)
Bo Norrving(World Stroke Organization)
Susan G. Amara Society for Neuroscience
Michael F. Lupinacci, MD American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation
Mark Odum National Rehabilitation Information Center
Christine Buckley Brain Aneurysm Foundation
Director-General Dr Margaret Chan World health Organization
Director: Thomas R. Frieden MD, MPH US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Dr. Michael D. Walker Brain Attack Coalition


Any one of these can contact me and I will drive what they obviously can't accomplish. I guess it takes stroke-addled persons to see all the holes in stroke rehabilitation and research.
