Leadership isAn opportunity to give back to theorganization in a meaningful wayPrivilege and responsibilityEncouragement of othersFeeling strongly about the quality of thisorganization and the great things it can dofor students and teachers, and sosupporting it in any way I canOpportunity to enable youngmusicians become their best

I am inspired byExamples of commitment,leadership and graciousness inthose who have served my stateMy studentsMy father, my parentsAttending concerts and festivalsThe female presidents who have led MTNAThe teachers with whom I havecontact on a regular basisPast and current leaderswithin MTNA
Personal LeadershipVisionValuesSelfawarenessBalanceAdapted from Lee, R., King, S. Discovering the Leader in You. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass, 2000
Caring your yourself Thevery act of self-care is an act ofleadership Self care, like leadership, requires awhole-life perspective Self-care is a daily activity"Like a path through the forest, Sabbath creates a marker for ourselves so, ifwe are lost, we can find our way back to our center."— Wayne Muller
Caring for the association Relationshipis fundamental Engagement with those in and outside theassociation are essential for the growthand development of the association
Key Challenges Keeping local associations informed andengaged as we strive to keep our stateorganization efficient, relevant, and vital Navigating the organization itself- understandingwhat's "always been done" and respecting thehistory while trying to move forward and beinnovative. Trying to keep everyone "on task"when they are all busy professionalsvolunteering their time to this organization.
Key Challenges Communicationin a sprawling, multiarmed organization; adapting to volunteerswith varying levels of skills andcommitment Diverse styles of communication Managing conflictThe current IPP - I loved her realistic approach to situations (it is whatit is and let's not dwell on the past but figure out how to move forward).I also learned that communication is "key" as President.
Social Capital, Media and CultureThe First Social Network – a Schubertiad!!
Social capital Informationand resources are sharedeasily and freely People enjoy and benefit from participation Social capital is about RELATIONSHIP Social capital requires trust and reciprocity
Social media Social media builds social capitalTransparentInexpensive, few barriersSerendipity helps develop unexpectedrelationshipsReciprocity is easy Organizationsneed to build, nurture,strengthen and use this capital for changeto occur
Social culture Notan easy shift to make Social doesn’t mean outgoing – it meansworking differently in fundamental ways
If we can get past the idea thatsocial media is just one morething to do, one more thing tolearn, we will see that thesetools can help us do what we arealready doing – only moreeffectively.-Larry Blumenthal
