WMEA Summer Retreat
The WMEA Executive Board and Committee met on July 18 and were joined by the WMEA Council and Wisconsin NAfME Collegiate Steering Committee members on July 19 for a summer retreat. The WMEA Council and staff at the Wisconsin Center for Music Education gave reports and the collegiate members met with their advisor, Abi Pulvermacher, to organize and make plans for the upcoming school year. Time was also spent on the WMEA strategic plan. Please welcome new WMEA Executive Board & Council members Christine Hulmer, Northwest vice president; Amelia Armstrong, Southwest vice president; Anthony Cao, secondary general music chair; Corynn Nordstrom, early childhood chair; Miriam Altman, CMP chair and Laura Dun- bar, PI-34/mentoring chair. The retreat was well attended and council members showed forward-thinking and a great amount of enthusiasm.
