Collegiate MENC
Why should I join MENC as a Collegiate member?
Nearly
all professions have professional organizations that
provide opportunities for members to share ideas. MENC is
the professional organization for music educators. As a
Collegiate member of MENC, you will have many opportunities
to network with full-time music educators, attend workshops
and clinics, and participate in activities that will
prepare you for your future career. There are many
resources available to Collegiate members that provide
information and materials that can be used for school
assignments and research throughout your education.
Collegiate members find that the networking opportunities
available to them as MENC members have played a significant
role in getting job interviews, landing jobs, and
succeeding in their careers as music educators after
graduation. MENC Collegiate membership provides the
opportunity for you to get a head start in your profession.
What
types of leadership opportunities are there for me as a
Collegiate member?
There
are leadership opportunities for Collegiate members at the
chapter, state, and division levels of MENC. Collegiate
chapters usually have some elected officer positions that
need to be filled yearly. See your chapter's constitution
and bylaws or the MENC
Collegiate Chapter Handbook for more
information on positions that may be available. Most state
music educators associations have Collegiate officers.
These officers are usually elected at the state conference
each year and represent the Collegiate membership at the
state level. The six MENC divisions (Eastern, North
Central, Northwest, Southern, Southwestern, and Western)
each have an MENC Division
Student Representative appointed
to present a report to the National Collegiate Advisory
Council at the MENC National Conference every other year.
Contact your state Collegiate chairperson if you are
interested in becoming a division representative.
