CHC Governing Council Representative Lisa Killinger, CHC Student Liaison Andrea Haan and CHC Membership Chair Lori Byrd teamed up in April to address students at Palmer College of Chiropractic about APHA.  The presentations targeted fourth, fifth, and seventh trimester students.

Killinger gave a short, 10-minute presentation which included a brief history of the chiropractic health care section of APHA. She discussed the mission of APHA and how it relates to daily activities of a chiropractor. They all stressed the importance of students getting involved and having an impact now.

The representatives challenged students in each class to return at least 10 membership forms. If the challenge was met, one name would be drawn for a free one-year student membership.  Two of the classes met the challenge. We received a total of 21 memberships. Many more students took membership application forms and student assembly brochures to read and give to friends.

We are extremely pleased with the success of this first membership drive effort and plan to conduct additional presentations in the future.
