The CHC membership numbers continue to increase due to the efforts of many.  As of July 31, the CHC section had 249 members. The official membership tally for this year was expected to be completed on Aug. 31.

On July 26, CHC Membership Chair Lori Byrd Spencer,sent an e-mail to all current CHC members asking them to recruit at least one new member for the Section.  Many members reported success in recruiting others to be a part of APHA. Cheryl Hawk stated she had recruited three colleagues at Cleveland Chiropractic College.  Alisa Fairweather reported recruiting a clinic director at Western States Chiropractic College. Joseph Brimhall, President of Western States Chiropractic College, said he would work with his faculty to recruit as many new members as possible.  Jonathon Egan sent the article in The Nation’s Health about the CHC Section’s history to the entire faculty at New York Chiropractic College. Within five minutes, he had one new membership. Gerald Stevens of New York Chiropractic College also signed up three students.

Two recruitment articles were published in Dynamic Chiropractic. Lori Byrd Spencer wrote an article in the May 22 issue ("What's in It for Me, You Ask?") and co-wrote one with Andrea Haan, DC, a CHC student liaison, in the August 15th issue ("Did You Know That Chiropractors Do It Every Day?")  

Many thanks to all who rose to the challenge!
