JANUARY 26, 2001 -  Sherman College Dean of Chiropractic Health Services Laura Chadwick Weeks, D.C., will serve as the only representative from a chiropractic college on the three-person executive committee of the Commission on Accreditation of the Council on Chiropractic Education (COA/CCE) following her recent election as secretary.
