FCA’s National Convention 2002
Offers Something for Every Doctor of Chiropractic

Orlando - The Florida Chiropractic Association’s National Convention & Expo 2002, which took place Aug. 16-18 in Orlando, offered something for every attendee. FCA has hosted more than 70 years of conventions throughout Florida.

A total of 1,932 people attended the convention, including: 1,388 doctors of chiropractic; 79 guests/spouses; 208 chiropractic assistants; 32 certified chiropractic physician assistants; 45 X-ray technicians; and 180 massage therapists. In addition, more than 250 vendors from across the country, with a total of 400 exhibit spaces, offered attendees the latest in chiropractic products and services.

Many of the clinical, practice management, and regulatory-focused sessions were standing room only. Chiropractic Economics, the FCA’s “#1 National Marketing Partner,” sponsored the highly successful, Fourth Annual “Success Boot Camp” series in cooperation with the FCA. This year’s sessions featured Dr. Mark Sanna from Breakthrough Coaching and Keith Maule of Kats Management, who gave a packed room of doctors hands-on, practical information on building their businesses.

The FCA granted several member, staff, political, and vendor awards at the convention, and winners of the convention’s annual golf tournament and cash and merchandise prize winners also were announced. A full listing of the awards is available through FCA (www.fcachiro.org).
