Thank you for your service!

The Board of Directors would like to thank Nancy Specian for over 10 years of dedication to the Colorado Chapter and to AMTA. Nancy has been an enormous asset, friend, and colleague for many of us. Her tireless work has truly helped shape the future of the massage industry. Nancy is on to bigger and better things, but the impact she has left will be felt for years to come.

Good luck Nancy!

Website Update!

Its been a long time coming but our website is finally getting a facelift. If you haven't used our website in a while please feel free to check out the changes we've made.

Our goal is to build something our members will find helpful whether its discovering new State Legislation, joining a committee or something else we've tried to think of everything.

You'll notice there are still a few changes to be made, but this website construction will take a few months, so bare with us while we build something we know you'll find useful.

Visit our website and please let us know what you think and what other changes might help as we create a more inviting helpful feel.
