A Welcome from the Immediate Past President...
 Congratulations, you have successfully completed your first task! You have logged onto the AMTA CT Chapter website. As Chapter Immediate Past President I want to encourage you to browse this site as it has a great deal of information for both the Massage Therapist and General Public. We have a tremendously active Chapter. It is active because we recognize that as a member driven organization individually we must get involved. It is our members that set the direction of this Chapter. Our direction over the past few years has been two fold in the form of two campaigns. “Count Me In” and “The Public Chooses” Campaigns. Our members are saying “Count Me In” and getting involved with the many community, sports, legislative, educational and awareness projects available through our Chapter. The public learns about the benefits of massage from this site but more importantly from the many activities and events we sponsor in the community. Giving back to the community is a big part of what we do. So… explore this site.. contact the people that are involved.. mark your calendars.. get involved..and find an AMTA Massage Therapist all on this site. And Welcome to the AMTA CT Chapter -- Lee Stang
