What is the Jerome Perlinski Teacher of the Year Award?
AMTA presents an award each year to an instructor in a member
school who demonstrates exceptional teaching abilities and
commitment to high standards of education in massage therapy.
This award honors the memory of Jerome Perlinski, an
extraordinary educator and much loved leader. Jerome Perlinski
is remembered for his recognition of the gifts and talents of
others and his ability to bring out their best. A consumer and
advocate of massage therapy who was not a practitioner, Jerome
held a doctorate in the history of ideas from St. Louis
University. He was a widely experienced teacher and lecturer
whose committed work helped raise training standards, improve
teaching methods and educate massage practitioners about the
importance of ethical, professional behaviors. He also played an
instrumental role in the early development of the Council of
Schools. When colleagues remember Jerome, they use words like
inspired, passionate, motivating, principled, and exceptional.
