Members receive three newsletters per year, and have the
opportunity to attend the three MCR meetings per year. Meetings are
Saturdays.
The meetings consist of a morning business meeting and an afternoon educational workshop,
round table or hands-on exchange and rotate location, usually Bath,
August/Winthrop and Ellsworth areas. Strategic Planning is held about once a
year.
Professional members each have the right to vote when membership dues are paid.
Continuing Education CEU's are required for continued membership. Among other
things, attending meeting programs will provide credit hours. MCR sponsors one
reflexology related educational opportunity every other year, on the off year for RAA Conference. We try to make this as
convenient and economical as possible. You will receive a mailing when it gets
closer to the next educational opportunity.
MCR helps organize a
group of 8 or more for ARCB (American Reflexology Certification Board) testing
in Maine.
An events kit, with generic posters that can be used for getting information
out to the public about MCR related events - such as World Reflexology Week -
is available upon request.
The new members receive a welcome packet, which includes a certificate of membership,
the most recent MCR members’ list of names and addresses, brochure, Code of
Ethics, By-laws (which includes MCR Disciplinary Policy Guidelines and MCR
