We have exciting news for prospective WVACDA members. Our president, Rob Wray, has secured a grant from the national ACDA to help recruit new members. We will offer a half-price one-year membership to any current WVMEA member in an attempt to get them involved in WVACDA. This dollar amount will cover 21 memberships at a price of $47.50. Please talk this up to the teachers in your school system. It's a great opportunity for those considering membership in WVACDA to try out our organization for a discounted price. More information from Rob will follow!!

A Message from Bruce Ensinger, WV ACDA Membership Chair
Dear WV ACDA Members,
I hope you are enjoying your summer and getting some much needed rest and relaxation. While February seems a long time away, we know that in less than a month, most of us will be back to work. With that in mind, I would like for you to consider people who would provide leadership for our state organization. We would like nominations for WVACDA President-Elect by Monday, 15 August. Feel free to respond to me at bruce.ensinger@att.net, with your nominations. We will contact each individual to see if they are interested in the office and obtain the necessary bio material. In September, you will receive an email from the national office with the names and bios of the candidates for the office of WVACDA President-Elect.

WV ACDA would like to extend a welcome to Jeffry Blake Johnson as the Interim Director of Choral Activities at West Virginia University.
