National Chiropractic Legislative Conference

Exclusive Footage of NCLC Speakers

Listen firsthand to what NCLC speakers had to say about the ACA's legislative efforts to advance chiropractic, as well as the important impact that NCLC participants have on the political process. This year's line-up included two members of President Bush's Cabinet: Sec. Anthony Principi of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Sec. Tommy Thompson of the Department of Health and Human Services (who spoke at NCLC's popular congressional reception). Just click on the links below to get a taste of NCLC 2003!
