In closing, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each member of the ACBSPTM for your unwavering support and dedication to advancing sports chiropractic care. Together, we are making significant strides in enhancing the health and performance of athletes at all levels.
I also want to take this time to celebrate and thank my predecessor, Dr. Bill Moreau, for his 30+ years of service and dedication to the ACBSPTM. During his tenure, Bill has played a significant role in advancing the achievements of what sports chiropractors can do as members of a sports medicine team, and his efforts have helped shape the direction and success of our organization.
We celebrate the dedication and commitment he has shown throughout his time on the board, and we are grateful for his leadership and the positive impact he has made.
We wish Bill all the best in his future endeavors and trust that his legacy will continue to inspire excellence within our board and beyond.
Thank you for your continued commitment and contributions to our shared mission. I look forward to seeing many of you at the 2025 Sports Science Symposium and celebrating our collective achievements.
