2021 Virtual Conference – Making Equity Actionable

Twelve state Music Education Associations (MEAs)* across the United States have partnered with Maryland MEA to host the 2021 Virtual Conference on July 13-15, 2021.

All sessions will be hosted live between 11:00 AM and 4:45 PM ET daily.

Building on successes from past virtual events, we anticipate hosting thousands of educators from across the United States and beyond for professional learning.

We are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive community in which participants and members of all backgrounds can access events, programs, services, and be treated fairly. Harassment, discrimination, prejudice, or bias in admission, employment, volunteering, or administration of its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability, marital status, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity or expression, political affiliation, ancestry, or military service will not be tolerated.

*The Associations include: Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, North Carolina, Virginia, Washington, DC, and Wyoming.

Conference Theme:
MAKING EQUITY ACTIONABLE

How do we welcome all students and teachers as we seek to improve equitable access and representation in music education? Educators will learn strategies for opening doors to all students while evaluating the curricula we teach to ensure cultural relevance.
