GCC held its 30th annual convention in 2011 with special guests Drs Sid and Nell Williams who were the first inductees to GCC’s Hall of Fame. In addition to Drs Williams, all past Presidents and past Chiropractor of the Year recipients were also inducted into the GCC Hall of Fame and each was given a medal. Dr DD Humber was awarded Lifetime membership and Dr Brian Lieberman was named Chiropractor of the Year.  

The 1990s were a period of activity, excitement, and growth for the GCC and for chiropractic. As the profession celebrated chiropractic’s 100th birthday in 1995; GCC also celebrated at the 14th annual convention where Dr Brad Pizza was elected to his first term as GCC President, guest speakers were Drs Fred Barge, Gerald Clum, and James Sigafoose, and Dr Sid Williams was named Chiropractor of the Century. The second half of the decade saw GCC busy working on legislative issues such as travel to treat, very important to the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, as well as protecting the new chiropractic coding system from being used by any other profession. 1996 was also the year GCC entered the digital age with our first website.

The GCC held its first annual Chiropractic Day at the Capitol in February of 2000 followed by GCC’s first ever golf tournament in August of 2000 raising funds to form Chiropractors in Politics, GCC’s political action campaign. Spring conventions were held in Florida with multiple state organizations participating together. GCC philosophy nights continued to grow in popularity, and the GCC gained visibility around Life College with new office space on campus.

 In 2005, Dr Brad Pizza was named GCC President for the second time. In 2007, the Governor signed the new scope bill, the product of a lengthy process of collaboration between GCC, GCA, and Life University. A ceremony was held with members of all three organizations signing unanimous agreement with the Foundational Tenets of Chiropractic. GCC celebrated its 25th anniversary at the Fall Convention with a special gala.

As the internet age evolved into social media frenzy, the GCC was hard at work bringing new ideas, new technology, new people, and new programs to help Georgia’s principled chiropractors achieve success in practice. In 2010, Dr Bobby Braile, former ICA President, was elected GCC President; and the Nuts & Bolts practice success workshop series began; GCC of course joined social media with a Facebook page; and Ms Katrine Frazier was hired as Executive Director. The first GCC CE Express Tour event was held in Augusta in 2012 with Savannah being added in 2013 and south Georgia in 2014. The GCC now brings CE courses all around the state with at least 5 events each year providing over 100 CE hours.
