What does the Government Relations Committee (GRC) do for you as a massage practitioner?  

 

The GRC is your guardian and advocate on issues affecting massage therapy in the state of Washington. Year round, the GRC works with AMTA-WA lobbyist Melanie Stewart on issues that impact us. We attend Department of Health meetings, board of massage meetings, allied health care coalition meetings, and communicate with members about areas of concern. The GRC keeps members updated on legislative issues through articles in the Washington Massage Journal and sends out action emails during critical times in the legislative session. The GRC sponsors Massage Awareness Days at the capital during each legislative session to help our lawmakers become educated about what we do and what our concerns are. The Government Relations Committee takes direction from, and reports to the AMTA-WA Chapter Board of Directors.
