About the Connecticut Chiropractic Association

The Connecticut Chiropractic Association was established in 1918 for the purpose of advancing chiropractic and promoting the highest standards of ethics and patient care for the profession. The Association has provided a forum for information sharing, and members attend both spring and fall conventions usually held in the New Haven and Fairfield County areas. Experts in chiropractic care from across the country serve as speakers, and honorariums are usually donated to chiropractic educational activities.

Legislation is also a major focus of the organization. Our lobbyist is the vehicle by which the membership is informed of any legislation which would have either a positive or negative effect on the chiropractic profession or patient care. The Association has created a number of committees designed to enhance both internal communications among the membership and relations with the public. All committees are chaired by doctors who volunteer their services in addition to running their own private practices. Each committee chair is required to provide the executive leadership with a report at the monthly board meeting (or written report if they are unable to attend).

Future planned activities include a reorganization of the association designed to better serve the membership. Current funding of the organization comes primarily from annual membership dues. During the next 12 months heavy concentration will be placed on developing vehicles for non-dues revenue by the organizations executive director and members of the volunteer executive board.
