ICS Recognition
Past Presidents
For a century, the Illinois Chiropractic Society has been guided by chiropractic physicians who gave their time, judgment, and conviction to the profession they love. Since 1926, each president has carried the same charge — protect the chiropractic license, advance the standing of chiropractic physicians across Illinois, and leave the Society stronger than they found it. The leaders below are that unbroken line: the chiropractic physicians who stepped forward in every era to steward ICS and, in doing so, built the voice of chiropractic in Illinois we know today.
