NY-ACDA recognizes that we have an opportunity to create systemic changes in our operating procedures to include a more diverse set of voices by opening up a call for nominations for members to participate in various leadership capacities. We invite you to either nominate or self-nominate for one or more of the positions listed below. Priority will be given to those who self-nominate.
R&R (Repertoire and Resources) leadership has been expanded to include more areas of priority for NY-ACDA and each R&R area is a co-chair position. This allows for more leaders to be engaged with our state membership and is hopefully easier and more enjoyable for each dyad. If you are someone or know of someone who is looking to share expertise, creativity, and experience in the choral arts with our choral community in NY, we invite you to use this form. This form will be open until September 15th at which point, the board will reach out to each nominee.
