Goalposts
State Superintendent Dr. Tommy Bice served as keynote speaker for the 2014 Conference and voiced his support for music education across the state.
o Plan for the future by updating the strategic plan, officer and committee chair handbook, and bylaws. A Strategic Planning Committee has been established and is working with NAfME Executive Director Michael
Butera to update our severely outdated strategic plan.
Once the strategic plan is complete, the Officer and Committee Chair Handbook will be updated to reflect the changes in the plan.
The AMEA membership has approved bylaw changes that reflect current procedures. These include changing MENC to NAfME, changing the title of the office of treasurer to the office of treasurer/registrar, and changing the office of treasurer/registrar from an elected position to an appointed position.
With budget overages, we have opened an investment account to ensure a strong financial future. Intensify advocacy efforts with a strategic design.
o Develop a list of “asks” and a strategic advocacy plan with innovative ideas through data analysis and a survey. An Advocacy Committee has been established to develop a strategic advocacy plan. The plan will reflect the needs of our members, which have been collected through the aforementioned survey.
An advocacy video was produced and a dialogue with lawmakers has been established using the collected data.
o Connect with other arts organizations in Alabama to strengthen our advocacy efforts. AMEA became part of the Alabama Arts Advocacy Coalition, along with other arts education organization in the
state. The mission of the AAAC is to raise awareness of and build support for the arts as an essential component of our schools and communities.
The Arts Education Task Force, which will design and present a comprehensive arts education plan to the State Superintendent, Dr. Tommy Bice, has met a few times in an effort to establish a strategy for providing arts education access for all Alabama students.
With the work and dedication of our board members and committee members, we have made tremendous progress over the past few years. I know that Dr. Carl Hancock will continue this trend and lead our association to even greater heights.
