 Welcome to NYSCAME! “The mission of the New York State Council of Administrators of Music Education is to provide a source of communication, development, and support for all leaders responsible for facilitating the music education of the students of New York State.” Dear colleagues, As this newsletter arrives I assume the NYSCAME presidency minus the “Elect” title. Please allow me to thank Pat Wheelhouse for her leadership and friendship over the last two years. We could not have asked for a more passionate and dedicated individual to help us through these challenging times. I look forward to working closely with the executive board of Paul Infante, Lori Orestano-James, Kevin Bayen, and Ann Trombley. This board will meet in Albany on Sunday evening, March 4 at 5:00 at the Stay Inn, and the general membership meeting will be at 1:30 on Joe Sugar Day, Monday, March 5 in room 7 behind the Egg. We have been working very closely with the NYSSMA leadership to stay involved at all levels of the current debates and changes that are affecting us all. I am pleased to say our collective input in many circles is a positive step. At worst we are at the table, at best we can help steer toward a less negative/more positive direction. As we all know, the game is a difficult one, but our students, staff, and music education continue to drive us to take on the task. I look forward to seeing many of you next week in Albany as we have a wonderful opportunity to advocate for what is right and fair. Craig P.
