Join us in our Mission to Encourage & Empower Massage Therapists

The USOLMT Leadership Council (Board of Directors) is comprised of nine volunteer positions.  Each volunteer is asked to serve no more than two hours per week as we work towards transitioning from the startup phase to the growth phase of our organization. Before USOLMT becomes incorporated, we would like to fill each officer position.

You may be considered for a leadership position with as little as one year experience from the date of your original license.  We know that young people entering our field and new graduates are the future of massage therapy.  Our leadership council training program will provide you with valuable skills you can use in all aspects of your career. 

To qualify you must be open-minded, forward-thinking and a great listener. We seek leaders who are visionary, transformative, and who can consider all sides of a situation before making decisions. Our council members strive to find solutions to the issues we face and work towards positive outcomes that are beneficial to all. We rely heavily on feedback from the massage community and seek to promote what is best for the collective. 

The onboarding process includes completion of an online application, virtual interview with the Executive Director and other council members, a review of qualifications, professional background check, licensure verification, and reference check.  Prior to taking office, leaders must attend a virtual orientation with the founder, sign a formal volunteer agreement, pledge to uphold the mission and display the values of our organization.   The first board will be appointed for a term of two years, whose main focus will be to grow the organization.  After that time, the board will be elected by the members.
