About Simon Schot

Simon Schot was one of the inaugural Directors of ATMS. He created and produced the first ATMS Newsletter, which preceded the current ATMS Journal. Simon received Life Membership in 1989 in recognition of the personal and financial support he provided to the Association in its early days. Simon was highly regarded and generous with his knowledge and support of other practitioners and students. In appreciation of both the legacy he left behind and his vision, ATMS has proudly dedicated this Education Grant to Simon since 1998.
