John K. Southall, PhD Chairman Conference Planning Committee

Welcome to the 2020 FMEA Professional Development Conference!

The planning process for each conference begins immediately following the previous conference, and for almost an entire year, many individuals are involved in planning, organizing, and implementing what will prove to be a most comprehensive conference. In the planning process, the FMEA staff members, the Conference Planning Committee, and the FMEA component associations (FBA, FEMEA, FOA, FVA) have been instrumental in creating a foundation of suc- cess for all conference participants. A large number of volunteers from all component organizations and beyond are also involved in the conference planning and implementation process, and they have spent countless hours working for the benefit of all. I am privileged to have the opportunity to work with so many outstanding individuals and hope you will join me in letting everyone involved in the planning of the conference know that we appreciate their hard work and dedication! An exceptional cast of session presenters, performers, and conductors from across the nation will be in attendance, and a comprehensive schedule of conference activities has been created. Please plan to attend, learn, and grow professionally from these outstanding individuals and their presentations and performances. Let us not forget the value of social interaction and the importance of connecting with each other during the conference on a professional and personal level. We can all learn many wonderful things through our personal and small group interactions with other music educators beyond the scheduled conference events. This is certainly a time to develop new relationships and to further enhance current friendships and pro- fessional collaborations. A sense of renewed purpose can be the end result. I wish you all the very best in your conference endeavors and hope you will find your experience reward- ing, thought-provoking, and inspirational. Have a wonderful time!

Sincerely,

John K. Southall, PhD, Chairman Conference Planning Committee Florida Music Education Association
