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.
