Welcome Mark

Thank you Mark, I was at the CAMTC website yesterday and missed that, I just went back and saw the requirement for the ceo, ha, maybe I'll apply :-) Thanks again and welcome.

The following statement was issued by CAMTC Board Chair Beverly May on Feb. 15, 2010:
As the chair of the Board of Directors of the California Massage Therapy Council (CAMTC), I think it’s important to set the record straight about our Board’s deliberations and decisions about hiring a CEO. At this point, the only things that have been decided are that we need a CEO and that we need to complete a due diligence process to determine the appropriate compensation for the position. On Feb 11th the Board approved a budget with a range of $10,000 to $22,500 per month plus a maximum of $5,000 benefits/month.

The Board is unanimous in its belief that a CEO needs to be hired to manage the tremendous volume of CAMTC work, much of which has been carried by the completely volunteer Board of Directors. Several of these volunteers have made a tremendous personal sacrifice and averaged over 40 hours a week the last year or more. The CEO must be able to work with the diversity of people and organizations with whom CAMTC interacts, including massage schools, massage professionals, law enforcement, elected officials, industry associations…the list goes on.

One of the things I love about the CAMTC Board is that it is comprised of individuals from varied backgrounds who have diverse opinions on almost any topic we discuss. So, yes, individual Board members have expressed their opinions on CEO qualifications and compensation – as they should. After we have completed our due diligence, the Board will vote on a salary range for the position and then will vote again on the specific compensation when it chooses a CEO. It will be an open, transparent process…and one that won’t involve anonymous packages.
