LA East – November 16, 2019 – Broomfield CO

[/vc_column_text][minti_divider style=”3″ margin=”10px 0 10px 0″][vc_column_text]Scott AndersonWe’ve already had a successful RMD Leadership Academy West on November 2nd in Taylorsville, Utah, but it’s not too late to sign up for LA East on November 16th in Broomfield, Colorado!  Please register your administrative and musical leadership teams now.  This year we’re bridging the gap and have invited leaders from dozens of choral organizations from all around the region to share the day with us.  If you know leaders in Sweet Adelines, community, or semi-professional choral groups, please invite them along.  This is a great opportunity to meet people and learn from each others’ experiences and challenges, and learn the nuts and bolts of managing a choral organization (with a distinctly barbershop slant).  This is vital training for newly elected officers, is a great refresher for those who have done it before, and is great development for anyone who might serve any leadership position in the future.  There will be something for everyone, and the information, materials, and discussions will prove beneficial to the growth and success of your chapter or organization.
