So most of my regular clients know that when convention time rolls around we’re going to have to adjust appointments and work around the times I will be gone. I love going to convention. State convention, national convention, even our smaller local conferences, I really enjoy them.
Why? Mostly because I get to meet new people who do what I do, also because there’s massage education there, but there’s a part of it that’s just me enjoying the fruits of the volunteer work that I do.
It makes me happy to walk into our AMTA-AL Chapter State Conventions and Conferences and know that I played a small part in bringing local massage therapists and excellent massage educators together. I’m proud that my position on the AMTA-AL Chapter Board of Directors allows me to be involved in bringing educational opportunities to our state for our membership that they otherwise would not be able to afford.
Apparently some of the other members of our board and chapter feel that the work I do is noteworthy and decided to honor me this year with the AMTA-Alabama Chapter Meritorious Award. So while I was gone last month to the 2015 AMTA National Convention in Pittsburgh, PA, I walked across the stage to receive my award from the president of the National AMTA organization. Woop! Woop!
The plaque bearing my name is in the mail. I’ll post a picture of it when it arrives. And then in the spring there will be more pictures when AMTA-AL Chapter does their official ceremony (at the beach!). Until then I’ll quietly be doing little things behind the scenes to make this year’s fall conference and next year’s spring convention better than ever.
