ICA Election Time is Here Again

One of the things that I respect most about the International Chiropractors Association is that the ICA is the most democratic national organization in chiropractic.  Once again the presidential elections are in full swing.

This year there is a little twist.  Most elections have two slates of candidates for each of three offices which include the President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer. This year two of three of the candidates of one slate have already been elected because they were un-opposed. 

Dr. Dan Murphy and Dr. Gary Walsemann have already been elected by acclimation. Dr. John Maltby is the presidential candidate but must first win his position in a general election before he can join his running mates. Dr. Maltby as well as Drs. Murphy and Walsemann were nominated unanimously by the nominating committee.

Since the Information Age is my publication, I guess it is OK to put in my 2 cents.  For many reasons I am supporting Dr. Maltby and urge you to elect him as president to join the great team he has assembled.  For more information on this election please see the website www.icapride.com.

Now You Know to Release New Website Templates

As we continue to grow, we continue to improve.  In the coming days we will be introducing new templates for our subscribers to choose from.  These new templates will start appearing on the Now You Know website in the coming days. 

This year has seen tremendous growth for us at NYK.  Not only have the number of subscribers dramatically increased, but we have added many new features that our subscribers have requested.  We also handle many state and national websites for many groups in chiropractic.  We feel it is our privilege to help chiropractors and chiropractic groups spread the chiropractic message. 

If you have questions concerning our new features please feel free to call our Customer Service Department at 1-800-695-8937, choice #1.

Chiropractic Without A Doubt Seminars Comes to Long Island New York

This program, featuring Dr. Steve Hoffman and myself, is coming to Long Island New York for the first time!  This program will cover the range of science, technique, research, and education technology for chiropractors to use in their offices. Response to this program around the country has been very positive as attendees not only get license renewal credit but also get valuable information that can be used in practice the next day.

Each month, we at Now You Know review hundreds of articles on health and chiropractic in order to find the few that we write up for our patient newsletter service.
