IL CEU's for the World Massage Conference

I am wondering if anyone has used the CEU's offered by the world massage conference for their requirements, if so did you submit all the ceu's using one out of state form? I'm also wondering which name to use on the form, since they are all signed by Eric Brown and another gentleman, Scott (can't make out his last name)? HElp! I'm running out of time, and have looked everywhere for these answers since last month!

Be Santa - It's that time of year.

My 10-year-old son is at the stage where his concern over Santa Claus’ existence is reaching a boiling point. He knows what he hears in school, but he also knows what he wants to believe. When he asked me about the jolly old elf, I...

The Power of Language

"You're guarding," she said. From my position lying on the massage table draped in sheets, I most certainly was not guarding. We were in a class, and I'd just gotten through explaining that I have a problem with my left hip, a congenital malformation. The femur head doesn't sit correctly in the socket and so moving my left leg when the bone locks into place -- something I can't control -- can sometimes be an experience. From my perspective I was relaxed, not holding back, and most… Continue

Transparency

Transparency, when defined in the context of non-profit organizations and public boards, implies that said organizations are accountable to those they represent, that meetings and communications are open, that full financial disclosures are made public, and that all business practices are an open book. It’s an ethical obligation.

I’ve recently posted on my blog my second annual series of reports on the financial health of the non-profit organizations…
