Choosing Our Leaders: Nominations Are Now Open for "Our Virtual Chiropractic Association"

By Editorial Staff
To explore what the benefits of unity could be for the chiropractic profession in the United States, a "virtual national chiropractic association" is being created that every doctor of chiropractic can participate in. This will provide the opportunity to elect leaders, set goals, establish priorities and ultimately develop a shared vision for the profession. This "virtual chiropractic association" is an open opportunity for doctors of chiropractic to express their opinions and help mold what could be a blueprint for the future.

This is not an attempt to create a new chiropractic association. This is a chance to let the 85 percent of the profession that doesn't belong to any national association join their voices with the 15 percent that do, to establish a common understanding of what practicing DCs need and want from a national association.

While much of this exercise will be conducted on line, it will not prohibit any DC from participating. Doctors will be able to also vote via fax and mail. Special software has been developed to insure that each DC can only vote once for each nominee and on each issue.

The first step is nomination of chiropractic leaders. Nominations can be made by any licensed U.S. doctor of chiropractic. Any person in the profession can be nominated. Please choose one of the means listed below to make your nomination:

1. On line - To make a nomination on line, go to http://www.chiroweb.com/oca/nominations. There you can use the electronic nominating form to enter the name of the person you are nominating and why they should lead chiropractic.

2. By fax - To make a nomination by fax, please provide the name of the person you are nominating and why they should lead the chiropractic profession. Please fax your nomination to (714) 536-1482.

3. By mail - Please send the name of your nominee and why they should be elected to:
