November 9, 2012 — The Parker Alumni Association re-elected Dr. Vincent Scheffler and Dr. Steven Brooks to serve on its executive committee. They also selected a new member to join the executive committee as treasurer, Dr. Carol Watkins.

The committee will lead the continuation of the vision, leadership, and legacy that has been established throughout the years.

“These executive committee members have already shown great dedication and leadership for the alumni association,” said Amanda Rainey, vice president of institutional advancement. “They’re excited about new association developments and eager to grow the benefits and opportunities available to members.”

Scheffler, re-elected as president of the association, practices in Dallas at Reagan ChiroSport Center. He specializes in sports specific rehabilitation, is a certified strength and conditioning specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association, and is a Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician.

Scheffler’s love for sports and treating athletes multiplied as a Parker student when he attended the 2006 Central American and Caribbean Games. He has experience treating various athletes including players of the Association of Volleyball Professionals and numerous professional cycling teams.

Re-elected to serve as vice-president, Brooks has been practicing at Sunset Chiropractic in San Angelo, Texas, for more than 10 years. For the past eight years, he has been recognized as San Angelo’s Favorite Chiropractor. He specializes in golf fitness and is a level one, certified Titleist Performance Institute. He has served on several local and national boards including the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Boys and Girls Club, and his local city council. He has also co-authored books such as The Healthy Alternative.

The newest member of the executive committee, Watkins, opened her first practice in Utah and lives with her family in her home state of Arizona. While a student at Parker, she served as student government president in 2010 and held a seat on the Alumni Association Board of Directors, where she became the voice of the students within the association. She was also a Student American Chiropractic Association delegate in Washington, D.C. during the National Chiropractic Leadership Conference two years in a row.

“I appreciate the education I received at Parker, and I’ve always worked to serve my fellow classmates and the student body,” Watkins said. “I am honored to continue that service as a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors.”
