Dear UMEA member, I have attached the new music teachers directory in PDF format. If you have a two-sided printer it should print easily for a desktop copy. Plus, a copy on your desktop will also give you active links for emailing your colleagues. Although there are more than 150 changes from last year's document there will surely be additional changes needed. (Not all district arts coordinators responded and there were still changes arriving by email on Friday for the Oct. 1st deadline.) If you see errors or omissions, please send them to me directly at donald_peterson@byu.edu<mailto:donald_peterson@byu.edu> We will make sure that they are entered and we will publish anther edition prior to our St. George conference. We are also pleased to announce that you should be able to see our new website by the end of the week www.umea.us<http://www.umea.us> The division vice presidents have been assembling information to post and will be open to suggestions for the information that will best serve their constituents. Be patient with us during this transition, but also know that we are diligently working to ensure that each division is well-served. Finally, we thank you for your continued support of our all-state choir (this weekend in the Salt Lake Tabernacle)--and for your early planning to attend our St. George conference the first weekend of February. The board is also presently working to finalize those sessions and we're excited about the offerings. Best, Don Peterson and the UMEA Board Don L.
