Multimedia Portrait Presented to
Dr. Fabrizio Mancini
A multimedia portrait collage of Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, President of Parker College of Chiropractic, was dedicated during a special ceremony on the Parker College campus. Lisa Plasker created the collage using over 100 layers of images from Dr. Mancini’s personal and professional accomplishments. It includes pictures of celebrities and media Dr. Mancini introduced to the chiropractic profession and illustrates the history of Parker College, Parker Seminars and the chiropractic profession. The artwork was presented to Dr. Mancini in honor of his 40th birthday.
Commissioned by the artist’s husband, Dr. Eric Plasker, the painstaking detail of the collage and the materials used to create it are visible only when looking at it closely. After stepping back, the details fade into a remarkable portrait of Dr. Mancini. The collage is a reminder that each of our actions, accomplishments and choices become part of our image to the world. While on campus for the dedication, Dr. Plasker, founder of The Family Practice, Inc., introduced his presentation based on the best-selling book “Good to Great” to Parker College cabinet members and administrators. A graduate of Life Chiropractic College in Marietta, GA, Dr. Plasker ran two successful practices in Georgia before starting The Family Practice, a mission-driven training, coaching and turnkey program.
Unified Legislative Effort in Texas Critical for Chiropractic’s
Success
Presidents of Parker College of Chiropractic, Texas Chiropractic College and the Texas Chiropractic Association developed cooperative strategies to provide the best possible results for the chiropractic profession during the Texas legislature. Dr. Fabrizio Mancini, President of Parker College of Chiropractic, Dr. Richard G. Brassard, President of Texas Chiropractic College, and Dr. Franz Klein, President of the Texas Chiropractic Association, met with lobbyists to map out continued unified efforts. The mutual goal is to educate decision makers about the issues important to chiropractic and bring those issues to the attention of Texas legislators. “For the past few years we have found great strength by working together for the common good of our profession and, most importantly, the patients,” said Dr. Mancini. “We believe that through the collective power of the chiropractic profession we can do more to advance our profession and its support by state legislators.”
