Dr. Earl L. Wiley Outstanding Board Award

Each year, the accomplishments of one board set a new standard for chiropractic regulation. They model for others the excellence that marks the daily responsibilities of protecting the health, safety and welfare of the public.

In 2008, this award was renamed in honor of Ohio regulator, Dr. Earl L. Wiley. His dedication to public protection stands as a shining example to all of us. His commitment to what is fair and what is true serves as a compass point to every regulator. Dr. Wiley stood on a firm foundation of ethics, while looking forward with a sense of possibility.
