We hope to see you at a Unit meeting
or at our March Conference in
Sacramento.
Because
of
the
large
geographical area of our state
of California, local groups
called Units are established to
help bring continuing education,
networking and community
event opportunities to the
AMTA-CA members. Please
connect with your local Unit
Board members or Area Liaison,
with the Northern and Southern
representatives (who are the
liaisons between the Chapter
and Units) or with Sara-Becca
at the Chapter Office for more
information about participating
and connecting with AMTA-CA
members in your area.

From Your President, Michael Roberson
Welcome to the New Year!
We often start the new year by looking back to the
previous one to consider what was accomplished and what
is still to be done. Then
we make some brand new
resolutions, or creatively
rework those resolutions
that were made last year.
Your Chapter Board is
doing well on those goals
we established last March.
And we want to see you
succeed in your goals for
2013 that you have set for
your practice, your career, and yourself. How can we help
you? Your AMTA membership offers so many benefits that
can help you accomplish your goals for the year. There are
almost 50 different benefits in all, and many of them are
free or offered at a discount. How will you make use of the
benefits in these areas...
Practice, Career, and Yourself
Benefits for your practice:
The Square for credit card processing, FREE consumer
e-newsletters, bolstering your practice, on-line interactive
courses, FindAMassageTherapist.org (a resource that
can pay for your annual membership each year from the
referrals), MTJ, our magazine that offers a wealth of
information for you, a FREE website, discounts through
VistaPrint and Massage Warehouse and AMTA Logo
items.
Benefits for your career:
Mentoring! What a great way to make you fall in love
with your career all over again. 2012 Massage Research
Report, see the trends, who is making use of massage,
where people are going for massages and more, all within
one report that is updated each year. A must-have book:
The Business of Massage, 2nd edition.
Benefits for you:
Through AGIA, The AMTA Optional Insurance program
allows you to conveniently shop for a variety of insurance
plans in one place. (For a full list of optional insurance
programs, go to www.amtabenefits.com). Networking
through our local Units meetings, workshops and events;
at our Chapter Education Conference in March, as
well as our Summer Education Conference; and during
our National Convention (this year in Ft. Worth, TX,
September 25-28).
Some of your most useful benefits are near you. Check
in with your massage school (or one nearby), fellow work
california currents - winter 2013
colleagues, or in your Unit. We have this great technology
of FaceBook that allows us to post questions and get
answers from so many different people. Resources to help
you succeed are all around you.
Now one item people generally do not consider a resource
is volunteering. What a better way to share what you have
with others. In your goals for the new year, make sure you
include some time to volunteer. This can be done as a onetime commitment, a longer term commitment to a position
in your local unit, by volunteering to serve on the Chapter
Board, or even serving at the National level. Your passion
for your profession will grow from what you give.
A few more tips about
goals and resolutions:
1. Make sure your goals
are something obtainable and within a time frame (it
does not have to be within a year – it could be sooner,
or projected later). Do something every day toward
achieving your goals.
2. Surround yourself with like people who want to see
you succeed and grow. Discouragement will come,
so be ready for it by surrounding yourself with people
who support you.
3. Make time in your life for something other than
massage. Variety is the spice of life!
4. Take time for you! Get a massage at least every 3-4
weeks. Be the example to your clients
I look forward to seeing you in Sacramento in March
for our annual Education Conference. This year, we
have great speakers in James Waslaski, Oleg Bouimer,
Tim Harvey and Mark Kinney. (More details about the
conference can be found inside.)
Here’s to a great new year and
the success that will come!
