Jess Ekstrom was a great inspiration, reminding us that motivation is influenced by three things: autonomy, connectedness, and competence. Volunteerism is a way to gain access to all three. Not sure what you could do? It could be as little as two hours of your time that makes a HUGE difference! Reach out if you have questions, or would like to simply connect.

Welcome to the AMTA 2026 National Convention—we are so excited to have you with us in Denver, CO! Kicking things off this morning at 9:00 am, we have keynote speaker Jess Ekstrom! 🎉

Jess is a celebrated entrepreneur, bestselling author, founder, and unapologetic champion for possibility. Her session, “Making it Without Losing It: The New Rules for Innovation—and Motivation—That Lasts,” will spark fresh energy for your massage career and leave you inspired to create a brighter path forward. 🌟

Start off Convention with an incredible keynote—see you there!

📣 Massachusetts AMTA Members, we want to hear from you!

The 2026 AMTA Assembly of Delegates, also known as the AOD, is getting underway, and your Massachusetts Chapter Delegates are gathering member input.

The Assembly of Delegates is one of the ways AMTA members have a voice in the future of our association and profession. Each year, Delegates from chapters across the country come together during the AMTA National Convention to discuss topics submitted by members.

This year’s AMTA National Convention will be held in Denver, Colorado, August 27–29, 2026, and your Massachusetts Delegates want to bring your thoughts, concerns, and ideas into the national conversation.

This year’s AOD discussion topics include:

1️⃣ Artificial Intelligence and Emerging Technology
How can massage therapists responsibly use AI and emerging technology while maintaining ethics and client-centered care?

2️⃣ Chapter Mandatory Deliverables
Should required chapter responsibilities be revised to better reflect what members value and need?

3️⃣ The Role of Delegates Within the Chapter
How can Delegates better support communication between members, Chapter Leadership, and AMTA National throughout the year?

We are hosting two member input Zoom sessions. Join whichever one works best for you:

Whether you are a longtime member, newer to AMTA, a business owner, employee, educator, student, or simply curious about what the AOD is, your perspective matters.

AMTA is strongest when members are informed, involved, and willing to share what they are seeing in real practice.

Ethics class for massage therapists! Hosted by AMTA Massachusetts Chapter

AMTA-MA is excited to welcome Ruth Werner for a live ethics webinar:

**A Doctor’s Note Isn’t Good Enough — And What Is Better**
with **Ruth Werner**

Tuesday, July 14, 2026
6:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST
Live on Zoom
3 CEs
$5 for AMTA Members & Non-Members

When clients have complicated health challenges, massage therapists need more than a note saying massage is “okay.” We need relevant information, better questions, and ethical decision-making that supports safe, effective care.

In this dynamic 3-hour session, Ruth will explore why relying on a doctor’s note is not always useful and what we can do instead to gather the information we actually need.

Please note: this event will not be recorded, and NCBTMB CEs are only approved for those who actively participate.

**Register today:**
