These two wonders have “worn many hats” within our chapter. Both have volunteered for many years to assist the chapter in growing and developing into the fine chapter that it is today. Congratulations and Thank you, Brenda and Grace for all that you are and all that you have done in your 25 years as an AMTA member. Wishing you both success today and in your future. Certificate of Appreciation Valerie Rowen – As a chapter volunteer in this chair position, one may not always have immediate business to attend to; however, once the need for the call to duty arises, this volunteer is often witnessed going above and beyond the written job description for this position. She does her very best to promote and support the profession of massage therapy by supporting legislation and continued licensure for all massage therapists in the state of South Dakota! Aside from keeping “an ear to the ground” and “eye” on legislative action, Valerie Rowen has noticeably made it a priority to foster healthy, respectful relationships with fellow massage therapists, AMTA-SD Members, voting members of the AMTA-SD Board, the South Dakota Massage Therapy Board, the National AMTA board members and staff, lobbyists, legislators and anyone else that she comes into communication with. Valerie is gifted in responding effectively and professionally when communicating the chapter members interests, desires, and needs, which was exemplified by the last legislative session. Thank you, Valerie Rowen, for all you do to promote the profession of massage therapy, the licensed massage therapists and the members of the American Therapy Massage Association of South Dakota. Certificate of Appreciation Patricia Bleeker, Tish Gilmore, & Rebeca Lyle – On February 7, 2018 these massage therapists unselfishly took time away from their massage practices, their clients, and their personal lives to attend the Senate Health and Human Services Committee Hearing in support of the continuation of licensure for all massage therapists in the state of South Dakota. In doing so, these fine therapists have promoted the profession of massage therapy and its future, supported our Government Relations Chair and lobbyists, as well as the entire membership of the AMTASD Chapter. Patricia Bleeker, Tish Gilmore and Rebeca Lyle, we appreciate your support and dedication to the promotion of professional massage therapy and the continuation of state licensure. Thank You!!
