AAAM is proud to welcome and congratulate the newly appointed chairs and vice chairs of several AAAM Subcommittees and Special Interest Groups (SIGs), as well as our newest board member. These individuals will play a vital role in advancing AAAM’s mission and supporting our global community of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers.
We are especially pleased to welcome Jason Hallman, PhD, Senior Manager for the Collaborative Safety Research Center (CSRC) at Toyota North America, to the AAAM Board of Directors term.

Clay Gabler Scholarship, has served on multiple AAAM committees, and was honored with the Elaine Wodzin Young Achiever Award in 2023.
“Our shared mission, the elimination of traffic injuries and fatalities worldwide, unites us all. I’m excited to join other AAAM directors to help us lean into our organization’s unique strengths for long-term success,” said Hallman.
