Michael Singletary was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998 after a stellar career with the Chicago Bears from 1981-92. He was a member of the famed '85 Super Bowl team and made 10 trips to the Pro Bowl in his 12 years as a player. In 2003, he became the Linebackers coach of the Baltimore Ravens. He followed that up with a move to San Francisco, ultimately being named Head Coach for two years, then spent three years with the Minnesota Vikings, and was back on the sidelines with the Los Angeles Rams until the end of the season in 2016. Since then, Singletary has partnered with organizations like National Child ID and has been active on the speaker circuit, sharing his proven strategies for leaders maximizing their organizational potential. Today, he is committed to raising the quality of life for the underserved and under-privileged communities of several large cities, with an emphasis on education, health care, and food insecurities through Changing Our Perspective, his non-profit organization.

Dr. Batjer is Professor Emeritus and the previous Lois C.A. and Darwin E.

He is currently an Adjunct Professor of Neurosurgery at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science and is recognized internationally as a leading cerebrovascular surgeon. At the height of the national and international controversies surrounding athletic head trauma and the risk of permanent neurological damage, Dr. Batjer was named Co-Chair of the NFL Committee on Head, Neck, and Spine Injuries. In April 2020, he received the Cushing Medal, the highest honor bestowed by the American Association of Neurological Surgeons.

Dr. Cullum is a professor of Psychiatry, Neurology, and Neurological Surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, where he serves as Vice Chair of the Department of Psychiatry, Chief of the Division of Psychology, and Senior Neuropsychologist in the Peter O'Donnell Brain Institute. He holds the Pamela Blumenthal Professorship in Clinical Psychology and is board certified in clinical neuropsychology (ABPP). Dr. Cullum serves on the NFL's Research and Innovation Committee, is a neuropsychology consultant for the Dallas Stars Hockey Club, and serves as the Scientific Director of the Texas Alzheimer's Research and Care Consortium (TARCC). He has published widely, with most of his work focusing on short- and long-term outcomes associated with concussion as well as risk factors and neuropsychological characterization of neurodegenerative disorders. Dr. Cullum is a past-president of the Sports Neuropsychology Society, the National Academy of Neuropsychology, and the Society for Clinical Neuropsychology.
