Thanks to AMTA’s many loyal members and dedicated volunteers. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving! Before the long holiday weekend, long-time AMTA member Rosanne Beurivage from New Hampshire shares her story with us:

“AMTA has been my mentor for almost 25 years. I learned how to be a massage therapist through the dynamic example of some of the best in the field. I grew up with their example of excellence, innovation, humanity, and passion. I am part of an association that loves massage for all the reason I love massage. There is no association like my association!”

Arlene Estrella of Kapolei, Hawaii considers AMTA her association because, “The
relationships you build with other professionals. I have found my closest and dearest friends/mentors through the AMTA. I found people who I would like to mirror my career after. Mahalo for being a wonderful organization!”

Like Arlene, AMTA values the importance of personal relationships. This is essential for building your practice and a life-long community of peers, which is why we created the Mentoring Program.

Would you like to participate in our Mentoring Program? This exciting service for AMTA members helps guide new massage therapists on their path to success. Seasoned massage therapists share their wisdom, give back to the profession, expand their professional network and receive recognition.

Thanks to everyone who joined us in Portland for AMTA’s 2011 National Convention! What a fantastic event. Check out Convention photos!

More than 1,400 attendees participated in one of AMTA’s largest conventions. Keynote speaker Kevin Carroll, founder of The Katalyst Consultancy and author of Rules of the Red Rubber Ball, captivated the audience during the opening session. And everyone enjoyed the opportunity to earn more than 20 hours of continuing education credit plus a chance to tour the largest exhibit hall in the profession.

AMTA Member Corrin Burnell, 3^rd VP of AMTA’s WI Chapter said that her best AMTA experience to date is “National Convention 2011 in Portland. Getting together with other WI members I did not meet at home. I made life long friends and have a sense of belonging.”

There were so many familiar faces and new friends made over a great few days. Join us at next year’s National Convention in Raleigh, NC on October 3 – 6!
