From CMENC... Taylor Sparks, President, Collegiate MENC
Greetings, colleagues! It is with great gratitude and anticipation that I thank you all for the opportunity to serve our organization as this year’s state president, and it is with the same excitement that I hope to continue Alabama CMENC’s
excellence. Rigorous planning has already taken place for this upcoming year, and it is my hope that our organization will witness yet another period of growth and preparation for future music educators. As grateful as I am to be placed in such a position, rest assured that
Nordlund, but, at the same time, they have left both of us prepared to continue their good work.

Many of you will also see new faces filling the positions of vice president and secretary for our organization. Dakota Bromley of the University of Montevallo and Heather Haynes of the University of Alabama
occupy those offices I approach such a
responsibility with conscious vigor and the desire to further promote the advancement of music education collegiately throughout our state.
Furthermore, I would like to take this time to thank past state advisor Dr. Carl Hancock and past state president Lindsey Folsom for their hard work and commitment to Alabama CMENC. They have left large shoes to fill for myself and new state advisor Dr. Moya
respectfully, and our team has planned some additional responsibilities for the panel this year. It is our intent to visit each chapter within the state at some point before Thanksgiving to see what is going on and exchange ideas about what could be done to better our organization. Also, we will take that time to share a few details concerning next year’s AMEA conference to be held in Montgomery. The wheels have been turning in preparation for the 2011 AMEA conference, and I can safely state it will be a rewarding experience for all of you who can be in attendance.
Sessions were chosen with each area of music education in mind, and it is our hope that the sessions will serve to meet every future music educator’s interests in the classroom. As I learn the skills of our trade as teachers, CMENC and AMEA prove themselves to be increasingly vital components in that journey. It is my hope that CMENC will continue to meet the needs of collegiate music education students in Alabama as it has in the past, and I know AMEA 2011 will be a great experience for all of us!
Once again, I am truly grateful for the chance to serve as your president this year!
