General Volunteer Positions

The AMTA-MA Chapter will always accept a helping hand! 

We have over 3,000 members in the AMTA-MA Chapter. With so many members and more throughout the massage therapy community, there is a lot we can accomplish. We can all do our part. So please consider being an AMTA-MA Chapter volunteer. Opportunities range from doing an occasional task at home on our behalf to being a member of our Chapter Board! The time commitment can be what works best for your schedule - an hour each week, monthly support or once-a-year!

While we come across so many talented people to share their skills with us to improve our chapter, we find that while volunteering, you end up developing a new skill that will translate into other areas of your life. 

BOARD of DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors are elected to office for two-year terms. The time commitment includes monthly conference calls, seasonal meetings, strategic planning and budget planning, along with providing guidance for the Program Chairs. The following is a list of our Chapter Board positions. These volunteer positions are elected positions where you submit a head shot and a bio explaining your career path and why you'd like to be on the Chapter Board. Online elections are held during the month of March so members can vote in the weeks leading up to our Annual Meeting that takes place in April. This way, we can announce our new Board at the Annual Meeting.

• President
• 2 Board Members
• Secretary
• Financial Administrator

If you are interested or simply want to know more about what is involved PLEASE email info@massamta.org and we'll be happy to help!

Education Committee

The Education Committee makes recommendations to the Chapter Board of Directors for presenters at chapter educational events, recruits and communicates with potential presenters, and ensures that all educational presenters and events meet AMTA’s high standard. The Education Committee plans and implements the Chapter conference, working closely with the Board and the Conference Event Planner. A conference is a one or more day long event designated as such by the Chapter Board and may include, but not be limited to one or more of the following: continuing education, meals, entertainment, exhibitors, and the Board of Directors meeting. Currently, the chapter holds the AMTA-MA Conference & Annual Meeting in the spring, and may offer additional educational events throughout the year across the state.

Membership Committee

The Membership Committee is a vital element of the Vermont Chapter as it facilitates communication between the other committees and work groups and serves as a bridge between members and AMTA. The primary goals of the committee are to encourage and maintain membership by promoting the benefits of AMTA and to recruit chapter volunteers. This is accomplished in several ways such as conducting school visits, hosting local Meet-Ups and communicating with members via phone calls, emails and social media.

The success of our chapter is attributed to our members especially those who volunteer. There are several areas and committees to serve and volunteers are connected to the committee or work group that best suits their interests.

Chair: Jennifer Savage
