CMENC Dakota Bromley, President
As we all prepare to return to the grind of classes,
and all
rehearsals, the other
shenanigans that accompany the role that we fill as college students, it gives me great joy to write to all of you as the president of Alabama CMENC. I would like to thank each and every CMENC member that trusted me to lead this amazing organization for this year, and I certainly hope that I do not let you down. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank last year’s president, Taylor Sparks, for all the hard work he has done for CMENC, and I wish him the best of luck as he begins what I am sure will be a long and very successful career in music education.
There are many reasons to be excited about Alabama CMENC this year, and
they start with the awesome individuals that round out our executive board. A new face, Skylar King of the University of Montevallo, will occupy the role of vice president. Heather Haynes of the University of Alabama returns as our secretary, and Dr. Moya Nordlund of Samford University is back as our state advisor. We will seek to expand this organization, and we have already set out a tentative recruiting plan to accomplish our goal. The AMEA Executive Board has given us their full support as we undertake what I hope will be a very fruitful statewide recruitment process for CMENC.
The annual Fall Summit (which will be held at the University of Montevallo in October) is in the planning stages. If there are topics that you would like to see covered, please do not hesitate to contact me to let me know what they
are. Be on the lookout for updates related to the Summit through the Alabama CMENC Twitter page and email. We are also planning to launch a musical outreach competition between the chapters of CMENC. The details of this will be revealed at the Summit in October.
Although it seems like a long time until January, I am already excited about the AMEA In-Service Conference, which will be January 19-21, 2012, in Montgomery. CMENC received some wonderful session proposals, and I know that it is going to be yet another wonderful opportunity for all of us to grow professionally. I look forward to seeing you all at the Summit in October, the AMEA Conference in January, and many places in between!
