To say that I appreciate ACDA would be a dramatic understatement. I joined in 1997, which seems like yesterday, and the minimal cost of membership is worth every penny.  Membership in ACDA results in many desirable outcomes, but perhaps most important are the opportunities for genuine inspiration and meaningful inquiry.  Writing for the Choral Journal continues to be a distinct honor and attending conferences at the state, divisional, and national levels has directly connected me with so many outstanding colleagues in a personal way.  Bravo ACDA as we celebrate our 50th anniversary – here’s to 50 more – at least.
