Our task force members have a broad array of professional backgrounds and experiences. Our ranks include parents whose children have been victims of distracted driving, pediatricians and emergency physicians, crash-injury investigators and public health experts, bike and pedestrian commuters, executives from insurance companies and driving schools, social marketing gurus and communications professionals, lawyers and civic leaders. Our common denominator is that we are frightened and appalled by what we're seeing on the roads every day and we are committed to making a difference. None of us is paid for our work on this task force. We are all volunteers.
