President's Message 2018-2019
Dear SMTA Members and Sponsors,
It will be tough to follow in the foot steps of Past-President Julie Gensmer! Julie is an incredible leader who was knowledgeable about and involved in almost every aspect of the organization. Thank you, Julie, for all you’ve done to assist me and our members and especially for your work on the Antitrust Compliance Policy and on restoring our 501-C3 non-profit status.
This year it will be easier to remember when SMTA meetings will occur. They will take place on the 2nd Saturday of each month September – May (except no meeting October due to FSMTA conference, February due to festival, & April due to Student Day) at 1:00 (except December due to Composition Contest Recital.)
It’s my goal again this year to enable more of the music teachers in our area to take advantage of the many opportunities SMTA/FSMTA/MTNA membership offers them and their students:
Composition Contest
Recital opportunities
Student Day
Meetings/programs that are informative
Student scholarship opportunities
Competitive events
Collaboration opportunities with fellow teachers
Fellowship/friendship
Association with Florida Federation of Music Clubs
I believe many area music teachers are unaware of our organization’s existence and the benefits & opportunities SMTA membership. Some may need financial assistance to participate. I’m thankful to Donna Cupicha for heading up Membership but ask all members to reach out and invite potential members to join us at meetings.
Thank you for trusting me with the responsibility to lead SMTA this year and for all the pledges of support. I have been blessed by my association with all of you and intend to be a blessing in return.
