MENC: The National Association for Music Education announces a series of Webinars focusing on music education advocacy. The series, beginning in January 2007 and culminating with a special session from the MENC Centennial Congress in June, aims to give MENC members and other music education advocates the information they need to build and support strong school music programs. Through Webinar technology, experts from various fields will interact with participants in their homes, offices, and schools. All you need is a computer with internet access and a phone! Support for the MENC Advocacy Webinars has been generously provided by the Music Lives Foundation. View program and registration information below. Questions? Contact Chris Woodside
