AMTA 2010 National Elections!

Have you considered working for your fellow members at the National level? You can choose to run for an elected office for the National Board of Directors or the Commission on Candidacy.

Members may find criteria for Board or the Commission on Candidacy positions by clicking on the following link:  http://www.amtamassage.org/member/governance/national_elections/home.html

This year, a member may request a candidate application packet beginning March 1, and must complete the application process by August 2.  The process includes completing three online courses: About Non-Profit Associations, Responsibilities and Communications throughout AMTA and Risk Management for Association.

Once the courses are completed, the member will have access to the application packet. After the Commission on Candidacy has reviewed the application and determined that the candidate meets the requirements of the position he or she is seeking, the candidate’s profile will be posted live on the AMTA’s official election website.

In addition, starting this year candidates’ can use social media to communicate with the members.  Candidates can answer questions and respond to comments posted by the members, which is available for everyone to read any time. 

If you are interested in serving, please contact the Commission on Candidacy via Gail Friedman, AMTA staff liaison to the Commission on Candidacy.

The Commission on Candidacy welcomes your questions, comments, and ideas.

2010-2011 Commission on Candidacy: Barbara Lis, Chair and members: Michael Blackmore, Jennifer C. Irving, Lucia A. Kaestner, Lee Stang and Todd Simmons
