It’s hard to
believe 2016 is here, and the Texas Chiropractic Association is already hard at
work to serve you, our members and the entire Texas chiropractic community.
TCA Tour of Texas
TCA is
officially kicking off its TCA
Tour of Texas, our grassroots initiative to connect with doctors of
chiropractic across the state, on Tuesday, Jan. 5, in San
Antonio. Renowned chiropractic coach Charles Ward, DC, will offer The Keys
to Becoming Fulling Engaged in Your Practice. In addition, TCA will provide important legislative
and legal updates and highlight upcoming activities. San Antonio-area docs,
don’t miss this opportunity to find out what’s happening at the state level and
network with your peers. It should be fun!
The TCA Tour
of Texas will roll into Dallas on Monday, Jan. 11, and Fort
Worth on Tuesday, Jan. 12, with media expert, best-selling author and
Parker University President Emeritus Fab Mancini, DC, sharing The
Three Powerful Ways to Grow Your Practice. A week later, the TCA Tour
of Texas hits Austin on Tuesday, Jan. 19, with Dr. Ward the featured speaker.
If you practice
or live in these areas, register
online and indicate the city. Please bring your spouse, significant other
or a guest, particularly another DC. If you are from another part of the state, look for announcements on upcoming TCA Tour of Texas stops.
