The cavalry will be arriving soon. Oh, well not exactly the cavalry, but I’m excited to announce that the office will soon be functioning with more support and capacity because Charlene Brown will soon be joining us.
For the past 6 years she has been working on the Winthrop University campus for the Center for Educator Recruitment Retention and Advancement (CERRA). As a Pre-collegiate Specialist she has been busily coordinating much of what happened in the Teacher Cadet program. This highly regarded program is offered in nearly 200 high schools in South Carolina and has become the model for such programs in many other states. She also works with Pro-Team, another pre-collegiate program which is offered in many South Carolina middle schools. Both of these programs expose students to education as a career option and students taking the Teacher Cadet class even gain college credit for taking this high school course.Beginning March 2nd Charlene will be here working to serve you better in our practice. Making a difference in the world isn’t anything new to her. In addition to bringing all of the experience and skills that she called upon at CERRA, she is now actually returning to her original career path. Charlene has a degree in Chiropractic Technology from Palmer College of Chiropractic, in Davenport, Iowa. The Palmer CT program prepares its graduates to function on many levels in a chiropractic practice including administrative, clinical, x-ray and patient education. In fact when we lived in Iowa she helped develop and work in the West Liberty Chiropractic Center, where we practiced for over 20 years before moving to South Carolina.
I look forward to having her here with us and I hope that you will help us welcome her at an open house reception here on Saturday, March 14th from 12 noon until 2:00 p.m. There will be free refreshments, door prizes and some fun, so please mark your calendar.
