Dr. Sidney E. Williams 
(March 18, 1928 – December 27, 2012)  

Upon graduating from Palmer College of Chiropractic, in 1956 Drs. Sid and Nell Williams moved to Austell, Georgia where they set up their first chiropractic office. Within a few years the pair had opened up and were running more than 18 clinics in the Atlanta metro area.  On Tuesday nights, Williams would invite individuals from the community to attend what he called "Dynamic Essentials" (DE) meetings.  These meetings would cover the philosophy and use of chiropractic care in day-to-day life, and would be a staple of the chiropractic profession for the rest of Williams' life.

Williams, by then a member of the International Chiropractors Association (ICA), and wanting to do more for the profession, began a 501(c)(3) organization called the Life Foundation International. Around the same time, he began publishing a chiropractic magazine named Today's Chiropractic which became an international publication and the platform Williams used to voice his beliefs and philosophy about chiropractic.  In 1982, Williams was elected as the president of the ICA, and served in this position until 1985. Following his service as president he resided as ICA Chairman of the Board, and as Chair of ICA’s Legislative Committee. Due to his contributions to chiropractic and the ICA, Williams was awarded with the Chiropractor of the Year award from the ICA in 1985.
