LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

The 2011/2012 Board of Directors has made extensive changes to the operation of SORSI.  Due to the fact that there has been a long standing and recalcitrant lack of transparency of the inner workings of the central desk, combined with excessive costs, it was necessary to decentralize, and reorganize operations. The result will ultimately be the streamlining of SORSI functions, as well as dramatic reductions in the cost of operations. Candice Young, our longtime administrative assistant, will no longer be handling SORSI Headquarters, or the Desk. We are grateful for her years of service and we wish her well.

Your current Board of Directors is the most dedicated and professional group of individuals that I have ever witnessed. They have spent countless hours researching and evaluating the functions of SORSI, both as it was when they began working together in September, and as it has developed historically. Tireless effort, a myriad of e-mails and numerous long teleconferences made it possible to cooperatively realign SORSI's future. Dr. Noel Taylor, Dr. Ann Michael, Dr. John Hilton, Dr. Jacque Roberts, Dr. Craig Pearson and President Emeritus, Dr. Suzanne Seekins, have been in constant contact to assist each other in reshaping our organization. Dr. Tom Bench and his wonderfully capable wife, Maren Bench, have been essential for the launch of the new website, and in lots of other “go to” issues. Maren will continue as Administrative Assistant. Maren now answers the SORSI telephone, handles registration for events, tracks certification hours for Member Doctors, ships orders for salable items, and communicates closely with the Board of Directors, the President, and the Executive Director.

I, and the entire profession of Chiropractic, thank Dr. David Rozeboom for the time, effort, and expense that he has put into REMDL, the historical library left by Dr. De Jarnette. He has also brought his experience, wisdom and strength to a position that opened on the Board of Directors.  We welcome him. Dr. Darren Little, President of SOTO International, and Dr. Steve Williams, President of SOTO Europe, continue as before: helping to launch, and make consistent, both SOT™ Methods and business practice for SORSI here in the United States, and for the rest of the world.

The NEW ITEM in our website STORE is the SEROLA TROCHANTERIC BELT. Dr. Rick Serola, a long time loyal member of SORSI, has made his product available to SORSI Members in a way that helps our organization when our Members order his belt from our Web Site. Watch for other wonderful and “Chiropractic specific” items to be added to the books, and blocks that have been available for years. SORSI would appreciate your Serola Belt orders from here on out. We promise to ship promptly.

April’s Midyear Symposium in Orlando, FL is on the horizon. The theme for this year’s research based event will be, Vestibular. Don’t miss it!

I am sure that we are going to experience some bumps in the road and some difficulties as we make SORSI more user-friendly. There will be questions, problems and difficulties. As current President, I promised to help ease the transition by being available to any member with questions and/or concerns.

For any questions that you may have you may feel free to contact me via e-mail at drdanmadock@hotmail.com or at my office telephone 813-935-1664. I ask for your patience, support and understanding as we make the necessary changes to ensure the longevity of our organization, the principles of SOT™ Methods and the works of Dr. De Jarnette.

God bless you all, and as Dr. Suzanne Seekins says in all her e-mails, "You can change the world with love!"

Dr. Dan Madock, DC, DICS
