Dear Doctors:
The Kentucky
Chiropractic Society Board of Directors welcomes you to the new KCS
website. The title of "doctor" entails that one is also a
teacher. Consequently, the officers and board encourage you to submit
articles to the website which would be educational value to the general public
and to KCS members. As chairman of the board, I will try to keep all of
you informed in regard to the current activities of the board and to
help everyone understand the by-laws of the Society.
In article VI of the
by-laws it states that the affairs of the corporation shall be conducted by a
Board of directors,who have been elected by members of the Society in

must be members in good standing in the corporation, provided, however, that
the Executive Secretary and Treasurer need not be member of said corporation or

shall elect a chairman annually from the Board members.
A minimum of two
