Legislative Day Chair Massage Event

Maryland Legislative Day is our chance to make a great impression, show support, and provide legislators and their aides seated massage. We are also introducing legislation to clear up some confusion between RMP and LMT and this event allows us the opportunity to gain support for our bill.
