ALLIANCE for MASSAGE THERAPY EDUCATION
NAMES RICK ROSEN AS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The Leadership Team for the
Alliance for Massage Therapy Education has named Rick Rosen, MA, LMBT to serve as its Executive Director during the initial developmental process. He has worked in the massage therapy field for more than 30 years, and has taken other non-profit massage organizations through successful startups. He is Founder and Co-director of the Body Therapy Institute, a COMTA-accredited school in Siler City, NC.
Rosen is a Charter Member and Past President of the AMTA-North Carolina Chapter. As the Founding Chairman of the NC Board of Massage & Bodywork Therapy, he guided that new agency from its first board meeting in 1999 through rules promulgation and granting of licenses in just 18 months. He was part of the group that created the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards in 2005, and served as its first Executive Director. Under his leadership, FSMTB laid the groundwork for the licensure examination program it operates today.
About his motivation to take on this new position, Rosen says, “I’m committed to seeing quality massage therapy training delivered in all aspects of our diverse field. Through the advocacy of the Alliance, educators will be able to take a leading role in the development of policies, standards and best practices that will shape massage education for succeeding generations."
