The Board of Representatives

What is The Board of Representatives (BOR)?

The primary goal of MWRAMTAS is to serve music therapy programs in the Midwest. To better do this, we created the Board of Representatives (BOR). The BOR is compiled of one or more students from each school in the MWRAMTAS region. BOR members work with MWRAMTAS to create dialogue between the regional student association and school student association chapters.
