AMTA wins 2002 Outstanding Website WebAward

Evanston, IL – The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) has won a 2002 Outstanding Website WebAward from the Web Marketing Association (WMA) for the quality of its Web site content. The award recognizes AMTA’s Web site for being beyond the standard of excellence.

“We are delighted that our Web site has been recognized as offering quality information,” said AMTA Executive Director Elizabeth Lucas. “We work hard to make our Web site informative to the public and a benefit to our 46,000 members,” she said.

AMTA’s Web site was launched in September 1997 and is constantly updated and revised to make it relevant to AMTA members and the public. The site offers information to consumers about the benefits of massage therapy and provides AMTA’s Find a Massage Therapist national locator service to help consumers find qualified massage therapists near them. Another popular feature is the online Massage Room that provides consumer tips, an online stress test, a library, and stress-relieving activities.

The WebAward is an annual award that judges against peer sites within an industry and against an Internet standard. Judges are from the marketing, advertising, PR, and design professions from around the U.S.

In 2001, AMTA’s Web site won several awards, including the Merit Award from the National Health Information Awards program (organized by the Health Information Resource Center) for the quality of its content.
