During the convention luncheon at the Southern Division convention, Tim Sharp provided a glimpse into the recent work of ACDA. The pictures and discussion displayed evidence that we are a vital and forward-thinking organization and that choral music is touching lives in countless ways throughout the country. This summer President-Elect Alicia Walker and I will attend the ACDA Leadership Conference in Salt Lake City where state and division presidents will discuss the membership of ACDA and look for possible ways to create beneficial collaborations with other nonprofit organizations--including but not limited to the arts. In the coming months you will hear more about some of the ways that ACDA is celebrating the choral art.
