Happenings
ABMP is proud to sponsor EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week every July. During this event, ABMP members give their time, money and effort to help those less fortunate, while raising the profession’s visibility. In 2007, the program won a silver award from the Colorado Healthcare Communicators for its overall excellence. The 2010 EveryBody Deserves a Massage Week will be held July 18-24. Massage therapists can order free materials from 800-458-2267, ext. 632.

In this community effort, ABMP encourages and supports members in donating time to such community-spirited activities as offering complimentary massages while collecting cash or canned-food donations to charity. Other efforts include making special offers and discounts to senior citizens, students, police and firefighters, as well as charity telethon work and health fair participation.

The Annual ABMP School Issues Forum is designed to meet the needs of owners and directors of training schools. The 2010 Forum will be held in Alexandria, Virginia from April 22-24 at the Westin Alexandria Hotel. If you have questions, please contact the ABMP education department at 800-458-2267.
