2010 AMTA-KY Chapter Education
Conference a roaring Success!
During March 6-8, 2010 two hundred fifty eight therapists and students registered for the
AMTA-KY Chapter Conference! Approximately 23% of our voiting membership attended!!! 
We attracted approximately 30 AMTA Members from 6 other states
- Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, Tennessee, Gerogia, Arkansas, and one from Nevada.

Fifty eight prospective members (we don't call them non-members) attended along with around twenty students.

Highlights of the meeting were:
- A star-studded faculty - James Waslaski, Ruth Werner, Cheryl Chapman, Marjorie Brook and
Eric Stephenson along with mary-Claire Fredette and mary Ellen Moore.
- A consignment shop where members could buy and sell gently used massage-related items.
the consignment shop sold $1500+ as a service to attendees.  The chapter charges nothing for the service.
- A Market Place where vendors sell products at a discount to the membership (we had 15 vendors)
- A raffle of donated items that raised over $1,300 for the chapter
- A post-conference with James Waslaski that raised nearly $5,000 for the Massage Therapy foundation.
- A complimentary luncheon for Kentucky Educators with Ruth Werner, presenter.
- A complimentary luncheon for students with a seasoned panel of therapists with the topic "tips to Help Grow Your Practice".
- A complimentary luncheon for the working Volunteers on Friday and a wine and cheese thank you reception
for volunteers on Friday Night.
