"...it's all about networking. The sooner you get started, the better. In this business, it's not only what you know, it's who you know. Whenever I am faced with a new choral question, I have a list of people that I can contact for help because of my involvement in ACDA. Also, I firmly believe that I would not have my current teaching position if I were not involved with ACDA."

"Why Join? · Networking · Meet your fellow choral people · Learn and expand knowledge about choral education · Workshops · Have an experience that cannot be explained by words (only choral geeks get this) · You can have an input for new ideas and activities. Your opinion matters! · Great for a resume (Hello? Before teaching, you need this group to get you in!)-Elvin Dioquino, Vice-President ACDA ASU
"ACDA provides a way for us to keep connected to the music community so that we don't have to deal with the stresses of teaching on our own."
-Angela Marshall, Treasurer ACDA ASU
