Exciting News!
Hello Members One and All,
This note is to share some exciting news that you will not want to miss. We know that you put a lot of effort into providing the best possible chiropractic care for the citizens of the Great State of Nevada.
October is Chiropractic Health Month nation-wide, and to emphasize the imortance of chiropractic care in the health-care system, we would like to thank you for your membership and support for 2024.
For the past 14 months; yes, over a year, members of the (NCC) Nevada Chiropractic Council members of the (NCA) Nevada Chiropractic Association have been meeting to create an Association, utilizing the framework of both the NCC and NCA to create a unified Association that will work for all chiropractors in Nevada.
To move forward, we have enlisted a legal counsel to look at the bylaws of both NCC and NCA and draft a new set of bylaws that will meet the needs of our NV chiropractors and their patients. It is our hope to showcase our new Association’s goals to NCA and NCC members and guests at our 2-day Annual Meeting scheduled for October 19 and 20, 2024 at the Orleans Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada while providing 12 CEUs.
We have some exciting things to share with you now and hope to update you when we all meet together
- Petition the Governor of Nevada and the Mayor of Las Vegas to make a Proclamation of October as Chiropractic Health Month.
- Continue to work with our allied health professionals to provide quality health care in Nevada to patients of all ages.
- As our chiropractic family moves forward; we need to know what things you want the new Association to be involved in and promote on your behalf. The 2025 – 2026 Legislative Session starts in early 2025 and we need your input.
- Advance our social media network and presence.
We are planning to dream big, and we need your support as members to continue your membership for 2025 and invite your colleges to join the new Association. Just remember, Teamwork makes the Dream Work. Watch for upcoming news.
Sincerely,
Teddy Sim, D. C., NCC President Marcia C. Tinberg D. C., NCA President
