When I think of the Texas Chiropractic Association, the first word that comes to mind is “family.” TCA was in my blood long before I became TCA President, with my father, Dale White Jr., a TCA Past President, and my wife, Val, a fellow chiropractor and active TCA member. I am excited to announce that TCA has created a new tool to stay connected to your TCA family: the Texas Chiropractic Association app. If you haven’t downloaded the app, it’s so easy; just visit the App Store on Apple and Google Play on Android. Once you have the app, use it! The app allows you to communicate with your TCA colleagues and unleash one of the best-kept secrets about TCA: the power of referrals. I can’t tell you how many patients I’ve picked up over the years simply because I am a TCA member and, when one of patients moves in state, I try my best to find them to another TCA doctor. But you can’t take advantage of our TCA Member Directory if you’re not a member. The app also will keep you “in the know” about everything TCA is doing. Check out the article in the current issue of eSource for more details. In keeping with theme of family, I want to invite you to a few key events coming up this fall. We kicked off the second half of this year’s TCA Tour of Texas last month in Austin with a full house and raised funds for our Chiropractic Development Initiative (CDI) while reporting on what happened during the 89th Texas Legislative Session. Next week, we’ll be in San Antonio, followed by events in Dallas, Laredo, Fort Worth and Tyler. Check out the events calendar! TCA also is hosting a number of district socials all across the state. These low-key events are the perfect opportunity to get better acquainted with other chiropractors in your community, connect with vendors and get the latest TCA updates. Visit our district webpage to find out who represents you. As your TCA President, I value your feedback, so message me through the TCA app with your suggestions, comments, etc. Hope to see you soon! Don White, DC, FICC TCA President
