Dr. Huffman has been active in the ICS organization, having served as Vice President and President of the Chicago District, as well as Director at Large on the ICS Board of Directors. When a vacancy occurred in the critical seat of one of two chiropractic members on the Illinois State Medical Board (the combined licensing and disciplinary board), Dr. Huffman applied and was enthusiastically recommended for the position by the ICS. Dr. Huffman was appointed by the Governor’s Office and currently serves as an esteemed representative of the chiropractic profession on the state board.
In addition, Dr. Huffman has been instrumental in her family’s significant donation to the Chiropractic Future Strategic Plan to launch the Pierce Family Chiropractic Research Fellowship Fund, which will be used to provide funding for a unique, three-year fellowship program for chiropractic research at Dartmouth College.
Please join the ICS in recognizing Dr. Huffman for her extensive dedication and ongoing service to the chiropractic profession. We extend deep gratitude and congratulations to Dr. Mary on her receipt of the 2023 President’s Award!
