We know that many of our colleagues and members in Wisconsin have been influenced by Brad Sherman, but Brad’s influence went far beyond Wisconsin. We share the loss of our colleague with the Board of Certification, Inc. Read the article by the @BOCATC to learn more Brad's career.

It is with great sadness that the BOC mourns the passing of Bradley J Sherman. As a member of the BOC Board of Directors from 1986-1997 Sherman served as the president of the organization from 1995-1997. https://t.co/vFiqkwEaIR #athletictrainer #AthleticTrainer #at4all
