HISTORY OF ARC:

The Associated Reflexologists of Colorado was formed in 1992. The official by-laws of ARC were adopted in 1993. ARC originally met bimonthly but now meets on a quarterly basis. As public awareness of Reflexology has grown , so too has its membership. ARC began with 6 people in 1992 and now boasts around 75 members. It increases its membership by two or three people at most meetings.

MISSION STATEMENT:

The mission of ARC is to advance Reflexology as a profession and to assist Reflexologists in becoming more effective through continuing education and sharing in both Reflexology theory and practical techniques.

GOALS OF ARC:

• To protect the field of Reflexology by working with the state legislature to maintain the right to practice Reflexology as its own modality throughout the State of Colorado.
• To enhance the public's awareness of Reflexology.
