Assembly of Delegates descend on Washington D.C
This year will be the first year for the Assembly of Delegates at National Convention. The Assembly of Delegates will serve as the think tank on relevant issues concerning Massage Therapy across the Nation. This year the Assembly of Delegates will be discussing the following position statements in order to recommend them to the National Board for consideration.
The following position statement is being proposed by the AMTA-Colorado Chapter:
Proposed Position Statement:
“It is the position of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) that massage therapy may be beneficial for pediatric populations within the hospital setting”
And the following position statement is also being proposed by the AMTA-North Carolina Chapter:
Proposed Position Statement:
“It is the position of the American Massage Therapy Association that massage therapy may help reduce pain associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.”
As your elected delegate I will have the privilege of sitting down with other state representatives for some spirited debate and discussion on these 2 proposed statements as well as represent Nebraska in a vote if these should be adopted and presented to AMTA National Board or not. Over the past 2 years I have been you Elected official and next year we need someone to represent Nebraska. In my experience, you meet some great members across the nation that are dedicated to advancing the profession. Look for a recap in the 2018 AMTA-NE Fall Newsletter. We want to know your thoughts! Email me at mitchell.lowrylee@amtane.org your thoughts on these proposed position statements.
