Foot Levelers Supports State Organizations through Education

Foot Levelers, Inc. and the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations (COCSA) proudly announce an enhanced "Speakers Bureau" program that will assist both the Congress and its individual member state organizations.

For over 50 years, Foot Levelers has had an established "Speakers Bureau" of the most dynamic lecturers in the chiropractic field. This illustrious group of people includes experts in the fields of biomechanics, rehab, orthopedics, sports injuries, extremity adjusting, technique, physical therapy, women's chiropractic, risk management and insurance. Foot Levelers' speakers provide a wide range of hands-on subjects, suitable for relicensure education credits that give doctors current information and the latest techniques that can be instantly applied to their practices.

As part of Foot Levelers' commitment to the advancement of chiropractic, the License-Renewal Seminar Series and the Educational Grant Program are vehicles for continuous giving to the profession. "We are honored to support the excellent work of COCSA and its member associations," said Kent S. Greenawalt, President and CEO of Foot Levelers. "This program is a valuable resource in bringing quality programs and funding to state associations, and can save an association thousands of dollars on convention planning, marketing, and staffing activities."

In 2004 Foot Levelers donated over $235,000 from its seminar and grant programs to chiropractic colleges, State Associations, and to COCSA. The contributions were made through direct donations, cost savings, and fund-raising.

"We are so excited with the success of Foot Levelers' Speakers Grant Program", said Janet Jordan, Executive Director of COCSA. "Over the past decade the program has grown not only in the number and quality of speakers available, but in the number of state associations that utilize the program. We are thrilled to be able to offer this kind of quality benefit for our members."
