Music Honor Society Advisory Council (Tri-M)

Purpose The communities to be served within the NAfME Music Honor Society Advisory Council are fundamentally associated with a program of activities and membership in a manner unlike the other councils and societies. A programmatic structure is the best way to promote lifelong engagement with the Association and music education. NAfME Advisory Councils will provide expert, committed, representative leadership in supporting program efforts for pre-college student activities.

Mission To recognize students for their academic and musical achievements, reward them for their accomplishments and service activities, and provide leadership opportunities. (October 2011)

Goals      The Committee goals are a mutual and collaborative process among the NEB, National President, Chair, and Society and Council members. Goals for any time period should be consistent with the Association’s priorities as stated in the Strategic Plan and other board documents or statements. They must also be within the limits of the operating budget of the Association. Generally, the Chair and committee members will help the Association:

• Act as a conduit for information to and from the board with regard to the interests and concerns of a defined group of members and, in doing so, foster and encourage membership among that group;
• Increase involvement & enthusiasm for the Association among the relevant group of members and other constituents with like interests who may not be members;
• Identify member volunteers.
