Dear ACCO Member

As your newly elected president it is with great excitement and honor that I accept this prestigious position. Your newly elected Executive Board for 2008-2009 are young, sharp-minded colleagues that are eager to roll up their sleeves and get to work. This new generation of “bright lights in the forest” consists of President Dr.Vern Saboe, First Vice-President Dr. Tom Mack, Second Vice-President Dr. Joseph Ferstl, Secretary Dr. Boyd Peterson, Treasurer Dr. David Swensen, and Past-President Dr. Bill Fisher. Other appointments are Advisor Dr. Rome Hanning, Alternate Advisor Dr. Jess Rothenberger, Dr. Joseph Ferstl Convention Chair, Jim Vancho as Exhibits Chairperson, and Dr. Deanna O’Dwyer-Swensen as JACCO Editor.

Our 52nd Annual ACCO Clinical Symposium held this past April in Carlsbad, California, provided an extremely informative program and with the formulation of the “Carlsbad Initiative” it will become a historic meeting. Looking to the future, our 2009 Annual Symposium is returning to the beautiful city of San Antonio, Texas. The Texas Council of Chiropractic Orthopedists takes second to none when it comes to promoting our annual gathering. Our colleagues in Texas were simply wonderful in 2006 and a large part of why the 2006 ACCO convention was so exceptionally successful. President of the Texas Council Dr. Bill Kowalski is spearheading the Texan promotion of the 2009 convention and we thank him in advance for all the hard work and preparation. We will be staying at the Hyatt Regency San Antonio situated on the banks of the river walk and located directly across from the historic Alamo. Dates for this event are May 8th – May 10th.

Colleagues, I’ve been a member of the ACCO since 1985 at which I joined as an associate member as a student in the diplomate program. In my opinion this is the most exciting time for our specialty that I’ve witnessed in the last twenty-three years! With the formation of the coalition between the College, Academy, and Council on Orthopedics, as well as the recent immergence of the “Master of Science in Musculoskeletal Medicine and Rehabilitation,” our specialty is riding the crest of a wave of positive forward thinking in post-graduate education, which will ensure a bright and exciting future.

In closing, as those famous words “Remember The Alamo” give us pause to recall and honor those patriots that gave their lives for this great country, so too will we recall one day the movers and shakers of the “Carlsbad Initiative.”

Cheers,

Vern Saboe, DC, FACO
