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

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.
