Drs. Charles Herring (president), Ronald Evans, George McClelland and R. Reeve Askew were re-elected to the Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) Board of Trustees at the board's summer meeting, while Charles DuBois, president of Standard Process, Inc., was elected as the newest member of the board.
"Scientific evidence is becoming an essential tool for all chiropractors," said DuBois following his election. "Being given the chance to be involved firsthand in efforts that will provide chiro-practors with evidence-based research and the expertise to use this research in daily practice is very exciting."
