From Colorado ASTA President Alison Mayes Happy March! As we all prepare for upcoming festivals, recital performances, and concerts... be sure to take some time for yourself and to relax, recuperate, and connect with friends and family. Start making some plans to have a great summer! Travel, workshops, anything that will inspire and revitalize you! I'd like to invite all members to join together for a meal; to connect with one another about your careers and aspirations. This will be our first Member Breakfast of 2018. Bring a friend who would benefit greatly from joining ASTA. Saturday, April 7 at 10 AM Dazzle 1512 Curtis Street Denver 80202 Please RSVP here by March 24 Once more information is available for conference session proposals for the summer conference and CMEA 2019, I will certainly send that along to you all. Have a great March and an even better spring break!
-Alison
