A Message from AMTA-NJ Board President - Earline Fair-Edwards

SEASONS GREETINGS snow-globe.jpg
  
Seasons Greeting to all of my fellow massage therapists and our advertisers!  This year has been an extraordinary year. 
As a chapter,  we embrace and meet any and all challenges that come our way.  Our chapter and its members continue to grow and evolve.  Together, we overcome adversity with grace.
In 2018, we welcome new beginnings and new challenges.  One of these challenges will include the increase in licensure fees.   Please plan accordingly  for this increase. 
Ethics and CPR certifications will be expiring and certification renewal is mandatory  for 2018.  Information on Ethics and CPR classes will be forthcoming.
In the new year,  our education team will be contracting with James Walaski to offer a new course.  James is introducing this course to New Jersey massage therapists and  other professionals for the very first time.  We are honored to offer this course to you.
The AMTA National Convention will be hosted  in Washington DC in 2018.  I am looking for 100 New Jersey  massage therapists to join us in Washington this summer.  The convention is located roughly three hours away and for most of you, we can carpool to attend.  Share any thoughts or ideas you may have regarding carpooling to convention via email at president.amtanj@gmail.com.    

Donate 1 Hour-- Volunteer  

The AMTA-NJ Board is presently looking for a Newsletter Editor, Government Chair, Hospitality Chair, Committee Liaison Chair and Education Chair.   If you are interested in any of these positions, please send a copy of your resume to president.amtanj@gmail.com
Education News 2017 
 State Annual Meeting 2018 
 
Our Ace cupping education event was hosted at the Fairbridge Hotel in Somerset, NJ, in November and was presented by William Burton.  AMTA-NJ - member class participation was outstanding and class content was comprehensive and valuable. 
 
Please be on the look out for details regarding our upcoming course offered by James  Waslaski.   Credit hours and class details will be included in our newsletter and on our web site. The dates for this upcoming class, which will coincide with our State Annual Meeting, is April 21-22, 2018.  Please plan accordingly.  You will not want to miss out on this educational event.  It will sell out fast.
 
CPR and Ethics will be offered on September 9, 2018 in Bordentown, NJ.
