PORTLAND, Oregon -- Key people from chiropractic colleges around the country came together to share ideas and solutions to common problems at the 11th Annual Development, Alumni, Public Relations Consortium of Chiropractic Colleges (DAPR) January 13-15, 1994.
The conference, which is hosted by a different college each year, allows each college an opportunity to present its educational concepts and chiropractic heritage. This year's conference was hosted by Western States Chiropractic College, with Amanda Failor, director of development and alumni relations organizing the event. This was an opportunity to network and learn from one another. In many instances, those new to the world of chiropractic were bolstered by the wisdom of the chiropractic veterans.
"New positions are being created and departmental staffs grow each year," explained Ms. Failor. "For those newcomers, this conference is a chance to get grounded in the issues that impact us all..." The conference, said Ms. Failor, "... provides a noncompetitive setting in which all participants make a significant contribution to each other by fully sharing their experiences and knowledge."
Mr. Failor also explained the DAPR is working hard to assist the Chiropractic Centennial Foundation in setting up successful PR events nationwide. An advisory committee consisting of several of the centennial liaisons was formed to submit and finalize such plans.
Make no mistake, while the majority of the conferees are not chiropractors, their devotion and willingness to work hard for the chiropractic profession are no less. Fred Schultz, director of institutional advancement for Life College of Chiropractic-West stated: "As a group, the development, PR and alumni people are very powerful advocates for the profession at large. They know that the better chiropractic education is, the better the profession will be. People see chiropractic education as the future of this profession."
As most of these people will tell you, it's more than a job, it's a commitment.

A supplement that can address inflammation, while also preventing certain types of cancer.
This article focuses on nine severe injuries that are generally not diagnosable until the third to fourth week following the date of injury, including how to diagnose these severe injuries. The discovery of any of these injuries early can make a significant difference in the case outcome.
While canes, braces and posts represent extrinsic methods for lessening adductor moment arms, an intrinsic method for lessening the development of medial knee osteoarthritis occurs when the hip abductor musculature and the iliotibial band are strong enough to create a compressive force capable of stabilizing the lateral knee.
