Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, President of Parker College of Chiropractic and Parker Seminars, and Dr. Kenneth Thomas, VP of Academics at Parker College of Chiropractic, have each been named to serve on commissions for the Federation Internationale de Chiropratique du Sport/International Federation of Sports Chiropractic (FICS). The FICS considered an overwhelming number of candidates for the various commissions before making its selections. Dr. Mancini was chosen to serve on the Finance Commission, and Dr. Thomas will be a member of the Education Commission. The FICS has particularly ambitious goals for the upcoming year, and commission members have important work ahead of them. All commissions will meet in person at the time of the FICS Assembly and the World Federation of Chiropractic (WFC) 10 Biennial Congress from April 26 to May 2, 2009 in Quebec, Canada. The FICS is comprised of national chiropractic councils and individual members from all over the world and has affiliations with international organizations within the chiropractic profession and the world of sports. The vision of the FICS is to empower athletes to maximal performance through a natural approach. Their goal is to promote research and post graduate education in sports chiropractic and to establish National Chiropractic Sports Councils throughout the world to ensure athletes in all sports have access to chiropractic as part of their health care team.
