FCER expands board, elects new president

The Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research (FCER) has elected a new foundation president, an expanded board of trustees, and has appointed a new executive committee.

Charles R. Herring, DC, currently a trustee, was elected FCER president at the recent board of trustees meeting in Orlando, Fla. Herring succeeds Vincent P. Lucido, DC, who had been board president for the past 10 years. Lucido remains on the board.

“This is one of the most exciting and productive times in FCER’s 60-plus year history,” Herring, said. “This election was important since new trustees have joined FCER from careers outside or ancillary to chiropractic. Joining our current hardworking board, these new members will bring fresh new ideas to the foundation, moving it in directions that, up to now, no other chiropractic organization has traveled.”

Herring, who practices in Baton Rouge, La., has been instrumental in helping to develop FCER’s new Evidence-Based Resource Center, the online research and education Web site, which will be launched later this year.

New trustees include Jeffrey Fedorko, DC; Mitchell Haas, DC, MA; Fabrizio Mancini, DC, FICC, FACC; and, David M. Rubin, PhD.

Re-elected to the board, in addition to Herring, was Thomas E. Hyde, DC, DACBSP.

The trustees’ executive committee includes Herring; FCER Vice President Reed B. Phillips, DC, PhD, MSCM, DACBR; FCER Secretary/Treasurer D. Michael Kelly, Esq.; George B. McClelland, DC, DABCC; and R. Reeve Askew, DC.

Other trustees include Lucido; Evon Barvinchack, DC; David A. Herd, DC; Frank H. McCarty, PE; and, Mario Spoto, DC.
