Our Keynote speaker will be Jana Stanfield, an acclaimed international speaker and songwriter who has received rave reviews internationally. She is known as “The Queen of Heavy Mental,” Jana describes her music as “psychotherapy you can dance to.” With soaring vocals, acoustic arrangements, and meaningful lyrics, Jana Stanfield says her goal is to use her music to give people a “faith-lift.” Her fans say the music is the ideal alternative to Prozac… all the mood elevation with none of the water retention. Through the global charity she co-founded, “Together We Can Change the World,” she helps women and children in need of education, and leads volun-tour trips with the theme, “The Life You Change May Be Your Own.”
“Jana is a multi-faceted, multi-talented person who can deliver the results you’re looking for. She can make a huge difference in your life, the life of your conference, and the life of your organization.” ~ Jack Canfield, CEO Chicken Soup for the Soul Enterprises. You can find her YouTube Channel here: Jana Stanfield YouTube
While we understand that COVID-19 is ever changing, we are hopeful to continue providing both in-person and recorded educational opportunities for our region. Due to ever changing needs COVID-19 requires, we will be following both local, state, and national recommendations. These precautions are subject to change at any time per the CDC recommendations and at the discretion of the MAR-AMTA Executive Board:
- Masks will be optional. A N95, KN95 and KF94 are the current recommendations by the CDC.
- Implementation of a 3-tiered system of social contact consisting of hugs/handshakes (green), elbow taps (yellow), or no contact (red) which will be visible on registrants name tags.
- An increased number of hand sanitizing stations and cleaning supplies available.
Following the success of our online conferences, feedback from members, and to create more accessibility, MAR-AMTA Conferences will continue to record and place concurrent sessions online. This will allow individuals to see ALL concurrent sessions, rather than just sessions they attend! ALL individuals who register for a FULL conference (Non-member, Member, Student) will have access to the recordings for 30 days once the videos are available. CMTE’s & Pre-Conference Institutes will NOT be recorded and must be attended live. We have continued the “Online Only” registration option. This will once again be for individuals who do not wish to attend the conference in person, but still wish to receive the CMTE credits for attending a conference. A link and password will be sent at a later date.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to Timothy Doak (vpconferenceplanning@maramta.org) and Ian Vereen (vpconferenceplanningelect@maramta.org). We look forward to welcoming you to the conference this year!
