The school year is quickly coming to an end, and so is my time as President. I have enjoyed associating with so many wonderful teachers! Thank you for supporting DVMTA by attending General Meetings, registering students for events, volunteering your time, and sharing your knowledge and skills freely with other teachers.
I would like to thank those DVMTA teachers who served in a leadership position for the last two years. It has been an honor and privilege to work side-by-side with the Executive Officers and Board who make this organization function so smoothly. I am amazed and inspired by your hard work, dedication, and creativity.
"The strength of the team is each individual member.
The strength of each member is the team." – Phil Jackson
Let’s give a big round of applause and thank you to each of the following teachers for a job well done! Toni Tetreau organized informative General Meetings with great speakers; Lorri McHardy kept thorough minutes for our Board Meetings and General Meetings; Randi Buell efficiently managed our finances; Sara Pratt kept track of our membership; Claire Westlake managed our social media presence; Shannon Payne kept our website and technology up-to-date; Lori Weidemann gave support to the Board as Parliamentarian; Lori Sprague kept us informed with a monthly newsletter; Wendi Heslop and Kelli Riding organized our fun and delicious social brunches with the help of Wendi King and Rochelle Lee; and Karen Garlington chaired Hospitality. Many thanks to Carolyn Rooder, Claire Westlake, Carolyn Eldredge, Jessica Heidt, Hong Zhu, Nancy Chase, Zoe Simmons, Lori Weidemann, Joni Walker, Lori Sprague, and Lori Kaye Faler who shared their ideas and expertise as presenters at General Meetings.
The following teachers organized our six events for the year that provided opportunities for our students to prepare, perform, and grow as musicians. Bravo! Sharon Vance, Nancy Chase and Diana Palmer organized Music Marathon at several great venues; Buffie Meeker, Jessica Heidt, Debbie Engelsman, and Joni Walker helped budding composers flourish at the Original Composition Festival; Carolyn Eldredge, Sara Pratt, Lisa Hunt, Charles Newton and many volunteers brought Cavalcade on Broadway to life; Claire Westlake and Hong Zhu allowed students to compete at the Award in Excellence competition; Carolyn Rooder, Hillary Bitter, and Anna Phelps organized our upcoming Achievement Day; and Jenna Hartley and Jenni Caddy will host the Award Plus recognition night for deserving students.
None of us could do this on our own, but together we can provide so many wonderful opportunities for our students. I wish the incoming Executive Officers and Board members the very best as they lead our organization going forward.
Our next General Meeting will be the August Brunch on Friday, August 16, 2024.
Have a wonderful summer!
