State Music Education Associations

Welcome to the family of NAfME state music education associations! As indicated by the NAfME Constitution and Bylaws, NAfME national membership must be unified with one or more federated state association of NAfME, if any such association is recognized by the National Executive Board. This reciprocal relationship is critical to the growth and stability of the national and state associations and to the advancement of our mutual goals for the profession.
