2024 Election Info
The Leadership Development Committee (LDC) is charged with finding strong candidates to serve the Alliance as Board members and members of the LDC. Are you interested in being considered for a position on the Board or the LDC? Service to the Alliance gives back to the massage therapy community and contributes to your own personal and professional development.
Apply for Consideration as a Candidate to the Board
To be eligible for a Board position, you – or the organization you are representing – must be an Alliance member in good standing. Members in all categories: School, Continuing Education Provider, Teacher/Administrator, Allied, or Supporter, are invited to apply. In addition to completing the application form, please include a current resumé or CV. Submit applications and resumes by April 15.
