Thank you to all of you who make up the Northwest Division membership for creating and upholding a division of music educators that is the envy of many other states and regions across the nation.

Rest assured that the Northwest Division is in great hands when the new Board that takes over in July!

In closing, remember the charge of Dr. Willie Hill, MENC National President, to “Connect with Music” as you continue your year. Connect with your colleagues, students, family, and friends with this wonderful entity called music.
