I want to share my excitement with you! The 2024 State Conference is already shaping up to be an event you won’t want to miss. We are so grateful to hold our 2024 event at the beautiful Gonzaga University Campus in Spokane, Washington.
Get ready for world class performances, workshops, master classes and lectures. Anticipate encouragement, enrichment, and fun! We know how hard YOU work, and want to roll out the red carpet for you. Setting aside this time for yourself can have an impact on your professionalism, inspire your teaching, and renew the joy of music.
We will enjoy recitals held in the beautiful Coughlin Theater inside Gonzaga’s Performing Arts Center. Presentations will be offered in the Recital Hall, Music Hall, and Music Annex. All buildings are within easy walking distance.
Gussy up for a semi formal banquet. You can look forward to live music, and plated dinners served in the beautiful Globe Room. Nothing is scheduled after the banquet, in hopes members will take an opportunity to enjoy a leisurely time over food, drink, music and camaraderie.
At this time we are still in need of these chair positions for our 2024 Conference.
- Local Chair (promoting the area offerings in Spokane)
- Hospitality Chair (facilitating opportunities for members to meet)
- Banquet Chair (decor and organizing musicians)
- Recital Chair (helping individual recital chairs, organize practice times, secure volunteers to accommodate doors/time clock during recitals)
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you would like further description of these chair positions and would be willing to serve in this way.
This year several members brought their spouses/significant other to the conference location. Please consider Spokane as a wonderful place to do the same. Spokane offers much in the way of beautiful hikes, bike trails, fishing, and entertainment. The weekend of our conference is the same weekend as Spokane‘s famous hoop fest.
We have reserved a block of rooms at Centennial Inn. We were fortunate to secure a price option comparable to summer season pricing in Spokane.
Please mark your calendars and start making plans for you and your chapter to attend the 2024 State Conference. We’d love to see you all there, as each of you have something to offer by your very presence.
With fondness,
Lois Rhoads
