From the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

Together we did the "nuts and bolts" work that led to the first Mission Statement for ACDA that now lives alongside our strong Statement of Purpose and Constitution and Bylaws, guiding every decision we make. The mission of the American Choral Directors Association is to inspire excellence in choral music education, performance, composition, and advocacy. Education and Communication, Advocacy and Collaboration, Diversity Initiatives, Research and Publications, Repertoire and Resources, International Activities, and Composition. In very intense and specific detail, I have worked directly with the staff, officers, and financial directors of IFCM to bring IFCM into compliance with USA Internal Revenue Service financial procedures, particularly related to the taxes that are required as a non-profit corporation in the USA.
