"For 75 years the College has been a trailblazer in advancing the profession from chiropody to podiatry to foot and ankle surgery, thanks to 10,000 members and hundreds of volunteer leaders-all represented by these past presidents," said J.C (Chris) Mahaffey, MS, CAE, FASAE, ACFAS executive director.
