From the District 4 President            

   Louise Victor

A BIG THANK YOU TO RAY MANDELL AND CINDY PENVOSE WHO HAVE VOLUNTEERED TO HOST DISTRICT BAND 2011!

Welcome to the PMEA District 4 web site!

I am honored to serve as your president for the next two years.   I want to give a big “thank you” to Brian Stacey for serving as the District 4 President for the last two years.  It will be great to have Brian as the Past President to continue to offer guidance in matters important to our district.

There are several major issues that will be addressed during my term as your president.  As part of PMEA’s strategic plan, the PMEA Board recently voted to investigate the festival system in our state.  Brian Stacey and I participated in the first meeting of the committee that was formed to look into this issue.  I have volunteered to continue to be on the Festival Task Force Committee.  We are also looking into changing the governance or the whole way that PMEA is set up with four major council areas.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT DISTRICT 4 MEMBERS LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD!   Please keep me and your state C/I representative, Johanna Steinbacher, informed of your views on these important subjects.  We each have a vote on the board and we are on the board to represent you! 

It is extremely important that you attend our Fall General Membership meeting on October 17^th at 1:30 PM at the Bellefonte Area High School.   There will be a presentation describing some of the aspects of the festival system and the governance of PMEA that are being looked at.

I look forward to serving as your spokesperson on the State Board.  Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any concerns or suggestions.

Musically yours,

Louise Victor
PMEA District 4 President
