Recognition for Teachers with 25 Years of Service

Were you a first-year teacher in 1984 or prior to 1984? 

If so, WMEA would like to recognize music teachers, elementary through college, who have taught for 25 years (or more) and have been members of MENC for at least 10 of those years.  The recognition will include special features in the Wisconsin State Music Conference materials and in the September issue of Wisconsin School Musician.

The recognition form should be completed by all music educators who meet the above criteria, as well as, anyone who has taught more than 25 years but has not yet been recognized.
