Inspired leaders take action from 

BRI's 2016 Leadership Conference
May 2, 2016
BRI's April leadership conference featured many renowned physicians, policy experts, authors, economists, and students. With professional video staff, we were able to film all of these presentations and are posting them to BRI's website as they are finalized. We invite you to watch these videos as frequently as you like and share them with your communities.

We are pleased to bring you the first of these informative and inspiring videos: Friday's Keynote Address, Fighting For People, by Dr. Arthur C. Brooks, president of American Enterprise Institute ( AEI ).


Dr. Brooks's main message was one of happiness through unity. After his presentation, Dr. Brooks spent plenty of time speaking with each student and signing a gift copy of his book,  The Conservative Heart: How to Build a Fairer, Happier, and More Prosperous America. 

" Dr. Brooks was arguably the best speaker of the entire conference. He has set the bar for future keynote speakers." ~Lina Ha, medical student attendee, John P. and Kathrine G. McGovern Medical School


Dr. Brooks's main message is that  true happiness lies in unity, rather than divisiveness. F inding common ground, especially with those with whom you most disagree, can lead to the most satisfying and long-lasting impacts for the betterment of all, and the most personal happiness and fulfillment.

"I really enjoyed Arthur Brooks' speech about finding happiness through unity. The concepts he presented are ones which I have tried to incorporate in my life since the conference." ~Michael Fitzgerald, medical student attendee, Marian University College of Osteopathic Medicine


Once again, I would like to thank our AEI host partners who created such an unforgettable day for BRI's medical students.
In partnership,
Beth Haynes, MD
Executive Director
SERIOUS & FUNNY: A good balance!
Daniel Milyavsky, 1st year medical student at Stony Brook School of Medicine, learned by fire how to walk the talk of expanding dialogue on healthcare policy. When the speaker for the free market side of his debate -- an anesthesiologist -- was called in to surgery and thus unable to be there, Daniel courageously stepped in when the debater present turned the occasion into a one-sided argument for government healthcare. 
We are very proud of Daniel for stepping up to the plate and using his years of self-education (we originally met Daniel at a Students for Liberty conference two years ago!) to bring about a more balanced debate, especially in the face of a more "authoritative" opponent.

But that's not all Daniel has been up to. He is also an actor, cast in a Stony Brook med student video. Take a 5-minute break to crack yourself up over this creative video about the joys and dismays of medical school! (No politics involved!)
STONY BROOK DEBATE: What is the Government's Role in Healthcare?
BRI-Stony Brook chapter president Daniel Milyavsky steps up when the free market debater was called in to surgery. Way to go, Daniel!
CAN'T FEEL YOUR PULSE



T he lighter side of med school. Enjoy! (Daniel has the best part, we think...! See if you can find him!)

IT'S A GREAT TIME TO JOIN BRI.

We're revamping our renewal structure. 
We think you'll like it!

Historically, BRI memberships ran yearly through August 31st. We are now switching to a system where memberships will expire 365 days from initiation. So, for example, if you are inspired to become a member on the day you receive this newsletter, your membership would expire in one year on that day - instead of on August 31, 2016 as in our old system. 

 

This new system will be retroactive through August 31st, 2016. If you renewed any time last year after 8/31/2016, we will ask you to renew with us again by your anniversary date. If you'd like to switch your anniversary date, just let us know, or renew now! We will gladly update your record.

 

We will send out some reminders in plenty of time to renew your membership before it expires the following year. We appreciate your patience as we improve BRI's systems to keep pace with our growth.
