President – Linda Moore

I have been a massage therapist since 1992, and a member of AMTA for over 20 years. In the past I have volunteered with AMTA as a board member, Newsletter Editor, and delegate. Recently, I have volunteered as Government Relations chair and currently President. In the field of massage therapy, I have worked in various positions such as franchise, spa, and education. Currently, I have my own practice and I am a NCBTMB approved provider for CEs. I have also volunteered on the IL State Massage Therapy Board and was chairperson of the Board. My goal as President is to encourage members to get involved.

I became a member of the AMTA, as a student, in 2008. I obtained my license for massage therapy in 2009, and have owned and operated my massage therapy practice, on the southside of Chicago, since 2011. My goal as Financial Administrator is to serve the AMTA Illinois chapter and its members by helping to advance the profession through education.
