From the President – ACDA East

Dear Eastern Region Membership,

As a new academic year and musical season begins, it is my great honor and joy to communicate with you for the first time as Region President.

The main purpose of this message is to introduce your new board members and give you some brief updates related to our region. I also want to take a moment to thank the previous board members for their innovation and tireless dedication leading our region for the past two years. I hope to build on the excellent leadership of Penelope Cruz, and am grateful to have her continued involvement on the current board as Vice President. I would also like to thank Peggy Detwiler, Penelope’s predecessor as President, who recently concluded her six-year term serving the Eastern Region.

EASTERN REGION BOARD

It has been a pleasure compiling a board that will serve as a valuable resource for our membership through June 30, 2024, and I am excited by the collective range of experiences, skills and viewpoints that will help shape our work.

In order to be aligned with the national Repertoire & Resources (R&R) structure, we are expanding Region level R&R positions with Chairs for specific choirs and repertoire types. While a few positions are still being filled, please take a few minutes to visit our updated website to find out more about each R&R Chair and board member.

EASTERN REGION LEADERSHIP

Our R&R Chairs and board members are eager to hear from you and are ready to assist in any way they can.
