                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 23, 2018

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. David Herd, 
a resident of New York's 23rd congressional district in Geneva, New 
York.
  Dr. Herd just completed his term as president of the American 
Chiropractic Association, where he has been a member for nearly four 
decades. In his time at ACA, Dr. Herd has served in many leadership 
posts, including serving as New York's delegate to the organization's 
governing body, as chair of the ACA's strategic planning committee, and 
as chair of the ACA's membership committee.
  A native of Buffalo, Dr. Herd received his BA at the State University 
of New York at Buffalo and his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer 
College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa. Dr. Herd has also served on 
the faculty of the New York Chiropractic College, located in Seneca 
Falls. In addition, Dr. Herd has also served in the leadership of the 
New York State Chiropractic Association, as president of the Rochester 
district in the early 1990s.
  These past two years, Dr. Herd has spearheaded a move to streamline 
the governance structure of the ACA, leading to a more dynamic and 
responsive organization. A tireless advocate for chiropractic patients 
and his beloved profession, he and others at the ACA have now laid the 
groundwork for a strong and vibrant organization for years to come.
  On March 1st, the American Chiropractic Association recognized Dr. 
Herd with their most prestigious honor, the Chiropractor of the Year 
award. Mr. Speaker, this is truly an honor befitting of an individual 
who has dedicated his life to his patients and his profession. I 
congratulate him on this honor and for a successful tenure as president 
of the ACA.
