The President of the Massachusetts Senate, Robert E. Travaglini, has signed a citation from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, proclaiming August 5-11, 2007, as “National Guild of Hypnotists Week.”

The Official citation bears the seal of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts State Senate and states that it is being awarded, “in recognition of your dedication in advancing the art, science, and philosophy of hypnotism.The House of Representatives of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts has also extended their congratulations to NGH “in recognition of fifty-six years of providing, an open forum for a free exchange of ideas concerning hypnotism and currently leading the movement for legislative and public recognition of hypnotism/hypnotherapy as a separate and distinct profession in the healing arts.”

And as we take the NGH Convention back to Marlborough for the third consecutive year, the City of Marlborough has officially proclaimed Saturday, August 11, 2007, as National Guild of Hypnotists Day. This proclamation, signed by Mayor Nancy E. Stevens, bears the official seal of the City.

Isn’t it nice that legislators and civic leaders recognize and appreciate what the National Guild of Hypnotists stands for and has accomplished over these many years?
