2009 Annual Meeting Information

National Association of Schools of Music
EIGHTY-FIFTH ANNUAL MEETING
November 20 - 24, 2009

The Manchester Grand Hyatt Hotel
San Diego, California

NASM is pleased to present a detailed guide to its 85th Annual Meeting.

On-site registration for the NASM Annual Meeting will open at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, November 20, 2009. An orientation for music executives new to NASM will be held on Saturday, November 21 at 4:00 p.m.

The NASM Annual Meeting will conclude at 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, November 24.

Representatives of non-member institutions are welcome at the meeting.

The meeting format will continue the Association's multi-year discussion of advocacy, with two general sessions on the subject.

The meeting will again feature scheduled times for roundtable discussion groups. These discussion groups will provide opportunities for participants to raise questions about topics of significance at institutions, and to gain insights from colleagues. For example, the topic of undergraduate curricula will be discussed, as well as other subjects introduced by attendees.

Concurrent sessions will be held on a wide variety of topics such as multimedia and multidisciplinary futures issues (for administrators); the exploration of multiple curricular futures for music teacher preparation; personnel issues in difficult financial times; and current fiscal realities, strategic thinking, and comprehensive planning.

Rounding out the program will be Regional Meetings, training workshops, open forums, and interest group sessions.

NASM PRE-MEETING WORKSHOPS

Please note that separate registration is required for pre-meeting workshops.  Please register using the NASM Annual Meeting registration form.

As part of its continuing effort to provide specialized professional development for executives of music programs, the National Association of Schools of Music will sponsor six workshops immediately prior to its 2009 Annual Meeting in San Diego. Interested executives may choose from the following offerings:

    • New Music Administrators in Higher Education
    • The Entrepreneurial Music School in a Challenging Economy
    • Self-Study Formats and Strategic Planning
    • Roundtable for Associate Directors/Assistant Deans
    • Advocacy within Your Institution
    • Creative Approaches to Standards

These workshops are of varying lengths and formats, and each is targeted to executives with particular interests and experiences.

Attendance will be limited based on available space and/or the interactive nature of the session, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Specific attendance caps and fee information are noted in the details for each seminar included in the 2009 Pre-Meeting Workshops brochure.

NASM Board of Directors members and attendees at evaluator training sessions should check for conflicts with their scheduled meetings.

If you are interested in more than one workshop, please check carefully before registering to ensure there are no time conflicts.

Please review the detailed information in the Pre-Meeting Workshops brochure carefully before registering. To register for one or more of the NASM pre-meeting workshops, please check the appropriate line under “Pre-Meeting Workshops” on the Annual Meeting Registration form.
