MMEA: Individual and Community Effort MMEA is a community and team effort. Just like any team, we rely on strong and dedicated individuals for our group effort and success. Though I would like to highlight every individual who contributes time and energy to MMEA, it is impossible to name everyone here (that’s a good problem to have!) Still, as an example of the immense individual effort that makes MMEA so fruitful for our Michigan music teachers, I would like to highlight and thank one indi- vidual who makes a big difference in MMEA: MMEA and NAfME member and 2012 Lowell Mason Fellow, Dr. Dan- iel Steele. Dan has served MMEA for many years and in a variety of capacities, including President and Past-President (several times!). Dan is the epitome of a caring team mem- ber who emanates positive energy. I am ever appreciative of his cheerful willingness to help and his thoughtful guidance – many thanks, Dan.
For me, being a part of this community means embracing our differences – I love how eclectic we are as a com- munity and believe we can learn how to be the best music teachers (for our students), by learning from each other. We are different and that’s wonderful and to be celebrated. We are also the same, in that we work towards a common goal: to support high-quality music instruction for all students, taught by qualified teachers at every level. In support of continuing excellence in professional development, please consider supporting our music teacher community and future professional development by engaging in the MMEA community and membership campaign. Please take a mo- ment to share why you are a member of MMEA with a non-member teacher and encourage them to join! MMEA – where music educators belong.
Go team MMEA!
Thanks for your time and support, Christina Hornbach
