Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards

Annual conference: to position member Boards to deal with the pressing legal issues related to Licensing and the protection of the public. Speakers are recruited from federal and state government, as well as from other licensed professions. This is also the setting for the annual business meeting. Bylaws, committee reports, model documents, and other helpful resources are adopted at the annual business meeting. This furthers fclb's exempt purposes by educating Boards in the cutting edge issues in public protection allowing these government agencies to be proactive by establishing appropriate regulatory language, policies, and framework. Combining resources makes economic sense and ensures a more uniform approach which benefits both Boards and the general public.

District meetings: our member Boards are divided into three smaller groups for regional meetings to allow for more intimacy and interaction of member Boards. The purpose continues to be to position member Boards to deal with the pressing legal issues relating to Licensing and the protection of the public. No elections or other voting matters take place at these meetings. This furthers fclb's exempt purpose by educating Boards in the cutting edge issues in public protection allowing these governments to be proactive by establishing regulatory language, policies, and framework. Combining resources makes economic sense and ensures a more uniform approach which benefits both Boards and the general public.

Pace (providers of approved continuing education): pace serves fclb's mission by promoting quality continuing education, helps doctors of Chiropractic connect with scientifically sound, reliable education, enables doctors to remain current, offering patients a wide array of effective care, and provides practitioners interaction with their peers. Pace serves our member Boards by reducing onerous paperwork and review processes in assessing applications from quality providers of continuing education, provides reliable reports on fulfillment of relicensure requirements, and helps Boards replace random audits with targeted audits of d.c.'s for continuing education compliance.

All other activities develop and administer educational programs and services to assist government Chiropractic regulatory Boards in their statutorily-mandated public protection mission of regulating the Chiropractic profession. Programs include, but are not limited to: an online password-protected databank for public actions taken by fclb member Boards; news alerts; a directory of requirements to obtain/maintain Chiropractic licensure; and model publications and resources.
