Would you like to help shape the future of the massage therapy profession?
An invitation from the AMT Board
Are you passionate about the future of massage therapy? Do you want to have a meaningful impact on our profession, gain invaluable experience, and build lasting relationships with AMT colleagues?
As part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen AMT and consolidate our position as an industry leader, we are undergoing a significant restructure process. This includes a thorough review of the terms of reference for our working subcommittees in the areas of strategic planning, education and research, and finance, to ensure that they align with our vision and mission, and with the needs of members.
You can view our subcommittee terms of reference on the AMT website.
This is an exciting time for our Association, which is why we are inviting passionate members to consider stepping forward and joining one of AMT’s subcommittees. We would love you to be involved in helping to steer the future direction of AMT and the broader profession of massage therapy.
Why get involved?
Serving on a subcommittee offers a unique opportunity to influence the direction of AMT. Other benefits include:
1. Professional growth and development
Involvement on a subcommittee expands your knowledge and expertise in areas that are critical to the flourishing of AMT and to your own professional growth. You’ll gain deep insights into the historical and current advocacy efforts of AMT, including the challenges and barriers, and the positive projects we tackle to overcome these.
2. Networking and collaboration
You will be working alongside fellow massage therapists and experienced board members. These connections can lead to collaborative opportunities, mentorship, and support within the massage therapy community. They can also lead to lifelong friendships.
3. Leadership experience
A subcommittee role provides a platform to develop your leadership skills. Contributing to decision-making processes, and guiding AMT’s initiatives and projects will give you experience that is highly regarded in any professional setting.
4. Contributing to the profession
Your voice matters! This is your chance to not only have input into the future of the profession but also give back, supporting AMT as we work to elevate the standards and reputation of our field.
5. Personal satisfaction
There’s a deep sense of satisfaction that comes from knowing you’ve made a tangible difference to the profession you love. Volunteering your time and expertise not only benefits AMT but also brings personal fulfillment and a sense of accomplishment.
But don’t just take our word for it – ask anyone who was involved with the AMT biosecurity committee during the crisis phase of the COVID pandemic. You can read about their experiences here.
How to express your interest
If any of the above sounds like it is up your alley and you are willing to dedicate some of your time and energy, we encourage you to submit an expression of interest via email to AMT Head Office.
We look forward to your involvement!
Sincerely,
