AMEA MEMBERSHIP HONOR ROLL 2011-2012


The Alabama Music Educators Association is proud to present the names of those who have been members of AMEA and NAfME for 25 or more continuous years. The AMEA Governing Board, on behalf of the membership, initiated this program at the Conference 2000 with each honoree attaining 25 or more years receiving an award. This year, each person reaching the 25-year number plus those reaching increments of five years beyond that will be honored.


The strength of any organization can be demonstrated by the dedication and leadership displayed by its members. The greatest learning opportunities come to those members who become involved with the organization and offer to participate in leadership responsibilities.


Numbers following the names below represent the number of years of continuing membership - not the number of years of teaching. Many have now retired from active teaching, but continue to make contributions to music education and to AMEA in other ways. We congratulate this group of leaders and thank them sincerely for their efforts on behalf of music education in Alabama.
