Non-MENC members attending the In-Service Conference: The AMEA Board will send an invitation to all Chairs, Deans, etc. of Schools of Music and Music Departments in our state inviting them, and their faculty, to join MENC and participate in our AMEA/MENC events.
Physical Education waiver: Some choral requests have been denied. John Baker is meeting with the State Department and will update the organization.
AMEA Conference site considerations: After discussion and research, the Board found that it may not be financially fea- sible to move the AMEA In-Service Conference to a convention center. Discussion continued and the committee will continue to explore this for the future needs of our growing organization. The committee also found that due to rehearsal schedules and transporting students to All-State events, we would not explore the idea of having the All-State perform- ances in conjunction with the AMEA In-Service Conference.
Mentoring Program: Information has been sent to all schools that offer Music Education degrees. The Mentoring Program objective is to provide a support system at the university level for first year teachers.
