FCLB E-Mail Illegally Modified, Distributed

By Editorial Staff
An as-yet-unidentified party apparently modified and distributed a recent e-mail from the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB) to its member boards, regarding possible revisions to the Commission on Chiropractic Education's (CCE) Standards. The following press release from the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB) was forwarded to Dynamic Chiropractic, commenting on the illegal activity:

FROM: Donna M. Liewer,
FCLB Executive Director
DATE: December 9, 2002

Through its customary investigative channels, the Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards (FCLB) recently learned that an FCLB e-mail, which was sent to our member boards on November 27, 2002, forwarding an announcement from the Commission on Chiropractic Education (CCE), was apparently modified and widely distributed on December 1, 2002.

The modified version was sent from an e-mail address identified as: . It appears to have been disseminated to the FCLB contact list and may be interpreted as an FCLB document. As the recipients of this December 1, 2002, e-mail may have associated this correspondence with the FCLB, the Federation is hereby notifying such recipients that this e-mail does not represent a communiquè or the opinions of the FCLB.

FCLB communications can be identified by referencing the originating address of or visiting our website at: www.fclb.org.

In summary, the original FCLB e-mail of November 27, 2002, included a brief explanatory cover note and the verbatim reproduction of a public announcement by the CCE regarding proposed changes to the CCE Standards. This distribution was provided by FCLB as a service to our member chiropractic boards. The text of the original and correct e-mail of November 27, 2002, follows in its entirety.

Please be advised that the Federation is pursuing this issue diligently and would appreciate any information anyone may have that may assist in our continued investigations. Please forward any information or comments to the attention of Donna Liewer, FCLB Executive Director at: or by calling: 970-356-3500.
