It is not too early to be thinking about our AMEA Conference in January, 2018. Just remember, you must join NAfME, and you should pre-register when pre-registration becomes available. 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!

Remember to: Remind your colleagues to join, include new music teachers, invite inactive music teachers and be involved as a mentor to young music teachers. Renew your membership now at www.nafme.org . Membership in NAfME is required for participation in state MEA sponsored events like the AMEA Conference, Elementary Music Workshop, All-State and Musical Performance Assessments. Joining NAfME secures your membership in AMEA and in your division.
