Dr. Mark A. Boyle has been serving ACDA for the better part of two decades. Beginning his ACDA service in Indiana at Ball State University, Boyle served as the graduate advisor for the student chapter of ACDA at Ball State University from 2002 to 2004. He would go on to serve on the ICDA board for three years, overseeing the award winning state publication, ICDA Notations. In 2007, Boyle would begin his DMA at Rutgers University and would serve as the faculty advisor of the RU ACDA student chapter, during which time he organized an annual series of lectures and events for the students, including observations of the Metropolitan Opera Chorus rehearsals. Membership on the NJ ACDA Board as the Advocacy Chair provided opportunities to shine light on the importance of choral music. Upon moving to Pennsylvania for his first academic appointment in 2010, Boyle would join the ACDA East Board as the Youth & Student Activities R & S Chair. Subsequent appointments included the ACDA PA College & University R & S Chair, Eastern Region Men’s Choirs R & R Chair, and the Eastern Region Technology Liaison. This last position lead to continuing work at the national level, serving at the National App Chair. In this post, Boyle and his committee have implemented and managed conference apps for Minneapolis 2017, Kansas City 2019, and with the National Staff, were heavily involved in all aspects of the 2021 National Virtual Conference. He will continue this involvement as a member of the 2023 National Conference Planning Committee. Boyle also served as the first Justice & Equity Chair for ACDA PA. Dr. Boyle is current Director of Choral and Vocal Activities at Seton Hill University, Director of Music Ministries at St. Paul’s United Methodist Church in Allison Park, PA, and the Co-Founder and Communications Director of Crown & Staff Music Publishing.
