Remembering David Perlman 

It is with great sadness that we share the news that David Perlman passed away on May 1. David served as president of the BIA and remained an active and devoted board member. His leadership and generous spirit left a lasting mark on this association and on everyone who had the privilege of working with him. He will be deeply missed. Please see his full obituary here. A service and "Celebration of Life" will be held at a later date.

The BIA community has suffered profound loss recently, and we extend our deepest sympathies to our colleagues and friends who are grieving.
