We are headed back to Birmingham! It is not too early to start thinking about attending our AMEA Conference in January, 2025. Just remember, you must join NAfME, and you should pre-register if possible. A healthy organization is always concerned with growth and development, and the AMEA board is interested in growing our organization, and for getting all music teachers in Alabama involved in professional development through AMEA and NAfME. You can help increase our membership by communicating the benefits of membership to our colleagues. When you are joining or renewing your membership, think of those music teachers in your area that may not be active members, and send them a message inviting them to join! You could send an email with their contact information to me at treasurer_registrar@myamea.org and I will invite them!
Remind your colleagues to join. Make sure to include the new music teachers, be involved as a mentor to the young music teachers and invite the inactive music teachers that you know. If you just retired, keep coming to the conference (registration is free for you) and renew your NAfME membership at a reduced rate.
Renew your membership now at www.nafme.org . Membership in NAfME is required for participation in state MEA sponsored events like the AMEA Conference, the Elementary Division Fall Conference, All-state and Musical Performance Assessments. Joining NAfME secures your membership in AMEA and in your division.
Register soon for the 2025 AMEA conference online at www.myamea.org. You will find it is easy and will save you time and money. Reunite with friends and colleagues from all over the state in January. Rejuvenate your energy, renew your enthusiasm, and join us as we gather again in Birmingham.
