 Visionary Award

In 2014, the Order of the Diamond created an award that is unique in that it recognizes an individual whose contributions to the entire world community of IMAC are truly exceptional. The Visionary award is decided by vote of all members of the Order of the Diamond and only when there are truly unparalleled contributions to the sport.

The IMAC Visionary award was awarded to Wayne Matthews in 2014 at the inaugural IMAC World Championships in Muncie, IN. Wayne's passion and drive transformed the dream of a true IMAC World Championship into reality and moved IMAC onto the world stage.
