From Higher Ed... Mark Walker, President, Higher Education Division
Friends and colleagues, as I write this article, the AMEA Executive
Board, staff members, ensembles of all sorts, clinicians and speakers are gearing up for the 2010 AMEA Conference. This will be an exciting conference that will no doubt recharge and inspire each of us to continue our important work with our students, research, and other activities.
To that end, I need to communicate a change in this year’s Recital Series.
All
performers who are scheduled to perform on the Recital Series will have to be current, active members of MENC and AMEA and register for the conference.
This is an
important step, and will provide performers with all of the benefits of AMEA/MENC membership. Those of us in the Higher Education Division need to continue to encourage our colleagues in the applied and performance areas to join and contribute to AMEA/MENC. If you have any questions
