The Massage Pundit

In a press release issued earlier today, Angela Palmier and Christopher Alvarado have announced that they have brought an end to their role as Industry Relations Specialists for the NCBTMB after just five months on the job.

Palmier and Alvarado are partners and the principals of Resource ETC LLC, a company which provides consulting, education, and training services for not-for-profit, health care, and educational institutions. Both have a long record of experience as educators in the massage therapy and health care industries, and are leaders in association and volunteer development.

According to their press release, Alvarado and Palmier are proud of the improvements in industry relations they fostered with the NCB, appreciative of the dedication and cooperation they had from the staff during their time there,  and now intend to turn their attention toward raising the profile of the massage profession in the arena of integrative health care.

In a telephone interview this afternoon, Paul Lindamood, CEO of the NCB stated “They’ve done a great service for us. We wish Chris and Angela all the best, and will hopefully have opportunities for future collaboration.” He did not reveal any immediate plans to look for a replacement for the vacancy left by their departure, but did say that “exciting things are in the works, and I feel very optimistic about the coming year for the NCBTMB.”
