2024 AFMTE Educators of the Year Nominations

Elevating therapeutic massage & bodywork education

Are you the next AFMTE Educator of the Year?

The Alliance for Massage Therapy Education is now accepting nominations for our 2024 Educator of the Year Awards.

The Alliance published the  NTESP Core Competencies for Massage Therapy Teachers in 2013. This document includes ten standards, each of which describe the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that form the basis for effective and successful teaching.

To recognize educators who exemplify these standards, we have also established the Educator of the Year Award, which recognizes one teacher in a school setting and one continuing education provider.

This award honors excellence in massage and bodywork education and serves to foster a culture that supports raising the standards of excellence in massage and bodywork education. The recipients are chosen based on their experience, teacher training completed, and how well they meet the core competency standards.

Nominations are due on or before May 15, 2024.

Winners will be announced at the July 12-13, 2024 Conference in Kansas City.

Each winner will receive the following:
  • 1 Year Teacher Membership in the AFMTE
  • 1 free registration to the 2026 AFMTE Educational Congress

You may nominate yourself or another educator.
