American Music Therapy Association Affiliates

Amta's regional Affiliates provide extensive educational programs, consistent with the mission of the organization. Annual conferences, seminars and workshops are held in all regions and are by far the largest expenditure. The next two program areas in terms of time and expense are scholarships and grants, which are also ways in which the public education mission of the organization is fulfilled.great lakes region - amta1.
