THANK YOU FOR ORGANIZING!  The annual conference is always a great time.  It is good to see old friends, meet some new ones, and learn new techniques.  I know the hard work that goes into an event like this. See you next year!

The conference was wonderful.  You guys did a really good job having interesting subjects available to choose from.  Hopefully the board will follow through and have Nancy back again in the spring so we can take that course.  I had a hard time making a decision.  Glad I took the one I did, but only chose that because they said they would have Nancy back.        -Judy

In January 2007, the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) began hosting a series of four meetings to explore the possibility of the massage therapy profession’s leadership organizations working together to develop consensus around definitional and scope issues – what is typically called the Body of Knowledge (BOK) for a profession.
