From the President, continued...
As I end my term as President of the Alabama Music Educators Association I challenge all members of our great association to remain active or become more active in your divisions and in the state organi- zation. Through your willingness to serve you can implement change and make things better. New ideas are encouraged and I know that your new officers will be willing to hear them. Elect those that you feel will best serve the membership. Give thanks to those that have served in the past and give support and encour- agement to those that will serve in the future. Yes, there will be conflict and problems. But working together we can overcome obstacles and be an even stronger voice for music education in our great state. Thank you to the AMEABoard and all of the won- derful people that have worked with me for the past two years. I especially want to thank Tony Pike, Lacey Powell, Lisa Latham, and Garry Taylor for your support, guidance, wisdom, and friendship. Good luck to John Baker and all of the people that will be fortunate enough to work with him on the
AMEA Governing Board. He is a gem! And most of all- thank you to all members of the music education family in Alabama. As I have had the opportunity to get to know so many more music teachers, I have also come to know more about the divisions and the music programs that those divisions represent. Many of you work with little resources yet you bring a love of music to your students every day. I am so proud of you and the great work that you do. Many teachers have resources but face other "stumbling blocks" as they try and bring music to their students, schools, and commu- nities. No matter where we teach or the size of our pro- gram, we all must remember that each situation has positive and negative aspects. Focus on the positive, eliminate the negative, and have "high hopes". Hope for the future of your program; hope for the future of your students; hope for our AMEA; and hope for the future of music education in our state.
I hope you have a successful and musically blessed spring!
