ABCA picks new president

During its 27th national convention in August, the American Black Chiropractic Association (ABCA) elected board member Rodney Williams, DC, as Executive President. Dr. Williams is a 2000 graduate of Logan College and has served as treasurer under the last three presidents.

Also elected were: Juneau Robbins, DC, Executive Vice President; Valda Dawson, DC, Executive Secretary; Tyran Mincey, DC, Executive Treasurer; and Quentin Brisco, DC, Executive Parliamentarian.

"We have a board of dedicated and proven leadership and I am excited about the future of the ABCA under this current administration," said Williams. "We will get to work immediately to make the ABCA more visible in the chiropractic profession as well as join other national organizations in promoting chiropractic," he stated.

The organization has student chapters at most chiropractic colleges. Annually, it awards scholarships to student members who make application and exemplify the aims and goals of the ABCA.

The ABCA also recognized Romanuel Washington, DC, one of the oldest members of the organization who still attends the convention regularly. Speakers for convention workshops included: Terry Rondberg, DC, of the World Chiropractic Alliance; George Chandler, DC of Catchfire Coaching; and Dr. Washington.

The 2009 convention will be held in Charlotte, NC, June 25-28. For more information on the ABCA, visit www.abcachiro.com .
