The proposed merger of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners and Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards was approved by NBCE delegates and FCLB members at their respective annual meetings, held jointly in Atlanta, Ga., this year. Per the new bylaws, the new entity takes the NBCE name, with FCLB continuing as a department within NBCE. The federation will continue to enjoy Board of Directors representation on what will be a single, expanded board.

Arlington, Virginia -- Be part of a special team that will be competing in the Boston Marathon, not just for the joy of running, but to raise funds to respond to the urgent need for chiropractic research. On Monday, April 15, 1991, dedicated chiropractors on the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) Team will be running, along with thousands of other competitors in the Boston Marathon.
Dr. Mark Elfman, team coordinator, encourages all doctors, students, and chiropractic assistants who have already qualified in a prior race to join this dedicated team of professionals. His goal is to have a team of 25 runners and to raise more than $15,000 to help FCER fund vital research and education programs.
Even if you are unable to run, you can be an important part of the FCER Boston Marathon Team by making a special donation to sponsor the team. All contributors will receive a special 1991 FCER Team Backer lapel pin. If you give $100 or more, you will also be eligible to participate in a drawing to win a $150 gift certificate to the sporting goods store of your choice; two of these valuable prizes will be given away.
