TAMT is Working For You!
What
has TAMT been up to recently? TAMT has tried
to protect Texas LMTs from being controlled by the massage
therapy schools in Texas, or the doctors, or the LMT trade
associations.
The new law will also help Texas law enforcement agencies
identify and prosecute individuals posing as massage therapists.
Here are links
to a few important events, including TAMT's part in
rules changes passed by the 80th Texas Legislature.
If
you'd like to read the 2007 & early 2008 reports of
how we have
ended up where we are, jump to here.

Why
all the struggle to
set down
the parameters that will govern our profession?
Read Rick Rosen's white paper
"On
Becoming a Profession: The Challenges and
Choices that will Determine Our Future",
now available at the Massage Magazine
web site,
for an explanation of the stakes involved.

"To
protect, maintain, and enhance the professional development,
business success, and quality of life for all Texas Licensed
Massage Therapists."

The greatest
advantage of membership in TAMT is an active voice in the
Texas legislature and involvement with the Texas Department
of Health on the latest issues relating to Texas massage therapists.
