The Thought Leadership & Innovation Foundation (TLI) announced that Bill Oldham, its Founder and President, has been appointed to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee (IACC). The IACC is a federal advisory group that coordinates efforts related to autism research and services across various government agencies.
Oldham’s role on the committee will involve contributing to the development of autism-related policies and helping to guide research priorities. His appointment reflects ongoing collaboration between nonprofit organizations and federal agencies in addressing autism spectrum disorder.
**Why this matters**
The IACC plays a key role in shaping national autism research and policy. Having leaders from diverse backgrounds, such as Bill Oldham, helps ensure that a wide range of perspectives inform federal efforts. This can lead to more effective strategies for understanding and supporting individuals with autism.
