FIRST EVER PACIFIC NORTHWEST YOUTH ORCHESTRA LEADERSHIP SUMMIT!
A one-day meeting of youth orchestra leaders happened in Olympia on January 16. The event drew music directors, executive directors and board leaders together to share ideas and resources guided by the philosophy that “no one is as smart as all of us”.
The keynote speaker and honored guest was Professor Michael Shasberger from Westmont College in Santa Barbara California. Dr. Shasberger is a statewide leader in youthmusic education and performance in California and brought valuable expertise and experience to share. His luncheon address focused on effective fundraising in a challenging economy. He was also a resource in our breakout discussion sessions for board leaders and executive directors.
This exciting event was sponsored by SOGO!
Special thanks to board member Doug Ford who developed, steered and faciltated the event. Thanks also to low brass coach and technology expert Levin Conway for helping out with the social media presentation.
