Surviving the economy!
How are you, as a school, keeping your brand alive during these challenging times? What have you noticed...more enrollments or feeling a little stuck?
Gina Simpson commented on Kathy Laskye's group ABMP's 14th Annual School Issues Forum"Hi everyone,
Hope you have had a good year. We are excited to be returning and especially to this part of the country...I have always wanted to visit the capital! Look forward to seeing everyone, making memories and countless contributions!"

Gloria Coppola said… - Hi Gina!
Hope you will participate in the massage survey? Thanks in advance.
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=OhBtGlEETUWwi9h5olkCGQ_3d_3d
Please help me compile this information. I'd like more than a 1,000 if possible. Sure it is!
Your participation is MOST appreciated.
Remember you do not have to answer all the questions and Page 2 is "optional". Page two is for those employed only, NOT Self Employed!The survey company automatically includes Page 2 and I was unable to edit or delete. SO it IS OPTIONAL!
Pass it on to your colleagues too.
The intention is to publish this research to assist
Future LMT's, educators, employers and anyone else interested in the statistics of the massage industry!
I want to give you a voice to share your thoughts and experiences.
The Survey will end November 29, 2009
