Message from MTAC-SACB President

Dear MTAC-SACB Members,

I am honored to have served as MTAC-SACB president for the past four years. In the last four years, we made improvements and created new programs such as website, Music Service Student League (MSSL), YAG Scholarships, and Community Music Service Recognition Awards for our branch. I will not be able to do it without our board members' help. I appreciate the help I have received from our board members and all members.

As my term as Branch President draws to a close, I would like to introduce my successor. I am delighted to announce that the New President of our branch will be Kristen Normann. She has been a devoted MTAC member for a long time. For the last three years, Kristen Normann has been a board member and has served as the Recording Secretary.

Under her leadership, our branch will reach new levels of prosperity and success as we pursue excellence in the field of music education.

Sincerely yours,

Millie Chiem
