Life West President Completes Long-Term Service on WFC Executive Committee

Dr. Gerard Clum, president of Life Chiropractic College West, recently completed 10 years of service as an active member in the executive committee of the council to the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC). During that time, he served in various capacities including secretary treasurer, second vice president and president. In June, he finished two years as the past president of the WFC.

"It was a privilege to serve on the executive committee during a very dynamic time of growth and impact of the World Federation of Chiropractic," said Dr. Clum.

The WFC has national associations of chiropractors in 85 countries as its voting members, and represents them and the chiropractic profession internationally. Many individuals and organizations support its work as associate members. The WFC has been a non-governmental organization or NGO in official relations with the World Health Organization (WHO) since 1997, and collaborates with many federations representing other health care professions.
