customer service meeting for the company that owns my summer boardwalk job. I was by no means enthusiastic about going, nor was I thinking I was going to learn much. I was wrong.

One thing has stuck with me from that meeting, as I began the school year, as the Collegiate president along with be- ing president of Rowan’s NAfME chapter: four simple letters all in a row:“CANI”. The acronym stands for “Constant and Never ending Improvement”. The business that I work for on the boardwalk seems to thrive on this approach, which is credited to the motivational speaker, Anthony “Tony” Robbins, so I have decided to adopt this theory to NAfME.
t was the day after returning from my summer family vacation in Cal- ifornia that I was summoned to a
I am ecstatic to get started with my
presidency, approaching my promotion as a time of celebration and growth. We are a group of talented, youthful, intelligent indi- viduals, and I plan on taking NAfME col- legiate a step farther by not making it just an executive board but a group as a whole. I want to work together, putting it simply. We have chapters all throughout our great state that work so hard and accomplish so many fantastic things throughout the year. Instead of hearing all of those great things just at the February convention, the board and I want to keep a constant flow of com- munication between all of the chapters in our state. We have so much to learn from each other, and I believe we can grow as a whole and individually,
simply through
communicating. From there- why not take all of those individual ideas and do some- thing as a whole? As music education stu-
&
dents we can sometimes see each other as our biggest form of competition; but in the same light we are going through this togeth- er and should grow in our knowledge and experiences in that light, so everyone can try and reach their full potential.
So as this year continues, when you are faced with a task I encourage you to not ask yourself “can I really do this?” but to put “CANI” into full effect. I know the board and myself can not wait to start the strive for constant and never ending improve- ment with collegiate NAfME, and I mean it wholeheartedly when I say that we look forward to working with all the collegiate members this year!
