The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) bestowed its prestigious Presidential Award on Parker College of Chiropractic President Dr. Fabrizio Mancini at the association's recent National Chiropractic Legislative Conference in Washington, D.C.
"Each year, we celebrate and honor outstanding contributions of colleagues, elected officials and business leaders who make a difference in the lives of literally thousands of [people]," commented ACA President Dr. David Wills. "What they have in common is a commitment to increase the awareness of the chiropractic profession and the issues that affect our daily lives."
In honoring Dr. Mancini, Dr. Wills noted: "His contributions to the profession are significant and far-reaching. He is a visionary leader who has used the Parker Seminars as a forum to reinformce the importance of supporting the chiropractic profession, ACA and NCLAF [the National Chiropractic Legal Action Fund]."
"There are no words to express my appreciation to the ACA for selecting me as a recipient of this award," effused Dr. Mancini. "We [Parker College] look forward to partnering with our colleagues and the ACA on future initiatives."
