MTNA Foundation Fellow

The Music Teachers National Association Foundation Fellow program offers a meaningful method for honoring deserving individuals while supporting the efforts of the MTNA Foundation Fund through a donation to the Foundation Fund in an individual’s name.

2025 MTNA Foundation Fellow

This year, WSMTA is delighted to announce that Cinda Goold Redman has been nominated as the 2025 Music Teachers National Association Foundation Fellow from Washington State. Cinda’s tireless fundraising efforts has been a welcome and much-loved sight at so many of our state conventions; she is completely deserving of this fellowship award. It is an incredible, national honor, given to “deserving individuals who have made significant contributions to the music world and the music teaching profession.” The award will be given in 2025, at the Gala Banquet of the MTNA national conference, to be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday, March 17, 2025.

To celebrate Cinda’s fellowship, charitable contributions are given to the MTNA foundation fund. Money in this fund helps to pay for the MTNA competitions, and for student scholarships. The nomination is confirmed when $1,500 is raised in the honoree’s name. After the award is given, a letter detailing the names of their donors is sent to her, so she will be able to thank all those who supported her nomination.

Make sure to scroll past that list, all the way down to the box marked ‘Fellow.’ Write Cinda’s name in that box. That way, the gift will go towards her fellowship fund. You have to do this in order for her to receive credit.
