Division President’s Message Continued from page 8
present to your school administration, please let me know. I’d be happy to present you with an “engraved invitation” along with a request for your services to host a session or introduce a clinician.
On the national front, please know that NAfME is working diligently for you in Washington, DC, to assure that music is a vital and integral part of the education of our students. We have made great strides in legislation due to our clear and purposeful mission. We are making a difference!
Now…make sure you have those February 14-17, 2019, dates marked on your calendar and I’ll see you in Portland. Again, let me know if you need an individualized invitation—happy to provide.
