General Volunteer Positions

The AMTA-PA Chapter will always accept a helping hand! 

We have over 3,000 members in the AMTA-PA Chapter. With so many members and more throughout the massage therapy community, there is a lot we can accomplish. We can all do our part. So please consider being a Chapter volunteer. Opportunities range from doing an occasional task at home on our behalf to being a member of our Chapter Board! The time commitment can be what works best for your schedule - an hour each week, monthly support, or once-a-year!

Volunteering is a great way to contribute your talents while developing skills that will translate into other areas of your life. 

BOARD of DIRECTORS

The Board of Directors are elected to office for two-year terms. The time commitment includes biweekly conference calls, seasonal meetings, strategic planning and budget planning, along with providing guidance for the Program Chairs. The following is a list of our Chapter Board positions. These volunteer positions are elected positions where you submit a head shot and a bio explaining your career path and why you'd like to be on the Chapter Board. Online elections are held during the month of March so members can vote in the weeks leading up to our Annual Meeting that takes place in late spring. This way, we can announce our new Board at the Annual Meeting.
