Tullio Award for Distinguished Service to the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (NBCE) by President Dr. Theodore Scott, NBCE president, and NBCE Treasurer Dr. Donna Craft at the NBCE Annual Business Meeting and Delegates Luncheon in Marco Island, Fla.

Dr. Padgett has demonstrated leadership throughout his career: president and chancellor of NYCC, president of the Association of Chiropractic Colleges, president of the American Chiropractic Association, and president of the Association for Chiropractic History. In 2000, he received both the ACA Chiropractor of the Year award and the FCLB George Arvidson Award for Meritorious Service to Chiropractic, and was the recipient of the ACA Meritorious Service Awards to Humanity and Chiropractic several years running.
