Why Membership Remains Important and Relevant
Although the RMTAO offers more programming than ever before for all RMTs, we have continued to focus our efforts on ensuring that there are significant benefits to being a member by offering relevant and current programming.
Above everything that we might do, the RMTAO remains a voluntary professional association of Registered Massage Therapists who are dedicated to the advancement of the profession. The Association provides leadership, and encourages continued professional growth for its members. Our primary source of funding is through membership dues and it is these dues that allow us to offer the benefits and programming that we do, and in particular, the advocacy which benefits the full profession.
We invite all RMTs to consider membership in the RMTAO.
