The College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) is looking for RMTs to serve on Committees as non-Board members for a one-year term beginning January 1, 2025.

What is the role of a non-Board member?

Non-Board members serve on CMTO’s Committees and participate in decision-making about RMTs’ practise and conduct, review applications for registration where concerns are identified, and may also participate in the development of policies, Standards of Practice and guidelines.

To be eligible for appointment, you must:

• Reside in Ontario;
• Have no terms, conditions or limitations on your certificate of registration;
• Not be the subject of any disciplinary or incapacity proceeding by a regulatory body in any jurisdiction;
• Not be a director, officer, committee member, employee, or a contractor with the Registered Massage Therapists’ Association of Ontario or similar national or provincial organization; and
• Not have been employed by CMTO, within the last three years.

Please review the full list of eligibility requirements under Section 2(A) By-Law 6.

Compensation

Non-Board members are paid a pro-rated per diem of $275 based on full-day meetings and some preparation time. Meetings are primarily conducted virtually. However, should the need arise, an in-person meeting may be required.
