New UUA Music Credentialing Program

I am pleased to announce that I have passed all the requirements for the new UUA Credentialing Program for Music Leaders.  I am one of seven candidates who will be "graduating" as the very first class of this new program.  We have spent the last three years studying in three areas: Music, UU History and Theology, and Leadership.  We studied with wonderful experts such as Jason Shelton, Sarah Dan Jones, Ken Herman, Rev. Marc Belletini, Beth Norton, Annease Hastings, and Joyce Poley.   Our class will be recognized at the Service of the Living Tradition at General Assembly in June 2009.  

Thanks to everyone who helped make this milestone possible for me:  Rev. Bill Sinkford for helping to push the idea through the ranks of the bureacracy, the Leadership Development Board of the UUMN, Donna Fisher, Beth Williams, my advisor Ila Stoltzfus, and my sponsor Susan Shaw.
