At the Chapter education and membership meetings around the state, many members get to know us and talk about getting involved with your Chapter. Please don’t be timid or uninvolved, make that effort and give us a call. Volunteers are given help and guidance to learn what to do in every position. Your Chapter is made up of Massage Therapists like you that want to help our profession and our association become more mainstream and better recognized. The current board needs your help to continue providing a quality newsletter. Please contact the 3rd Vice President at 3rdvp@amtaga.org.
