| ||||||
4 | WHEREAS, She has been a member of the American Massage | ||||||
5 | Therapy Association since 1995; she began advocating for | ||||||

8 | ensuring the integrity of the profession; and
| ||||||
9 | WHEREAS, From 1996 to 2001, Maureen worked with members of | ||||||
10 | the General Assembly and industry stakeholders to ensure | ||||||

14 | WHEREAS, The Massage Licensing Act was enacted in 2003 in | ||||||
15 | large part due to the tireless volunteer effort of Maureen; and

| ||||||
20 | WHEREAS, The leadership, dedication, and fundamental |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | understanding of good legislation demonstrated through the | ||||||
2 | years of advocating for the profession led the Illinois Chapter | ||||||
3 | of the American Massage Therapy Association to contract for | ||||||
4 | Maureen's services in 2002; therefore, be it
| ||||||
5 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
