A Message to all unit members:
We, as the PUPCA unit officers, strongly encourage all therapists in our area to attend the next AMTA PUPCA Unit Meeting. The stronger
we build this organization, the more we will all benefit in our wonderful profession as Massage Therapists. It’s always great to be around with other
therapists at these meetings.
The support, encouragement, connections and knowledge received from you fellow therapists are priceless and very much worth the investment of
setting aside 3 to 4 hours of your time to attend an AMTA local chapter meeting. Look for more information about the fall meeting which will be posted
on the website and email loop.
We also encourage any feedback and ideas that any member may have for any future meetings. Let’s all work together and help build Massage Therapy
to the level it deserves.
