Washington D.C.

At NAfME’s National Leadership Assembly every June, NMEA board members travel to D.C. to meet with Nevada’s Representatives to advocate for music education in Nevada. NAfME is working hard to provide opportunities for MEA’s to meet with their representatives and share information on how to ensure all students can have music as a part of their education. Below are some materials you can provide to help advocate for your music programs!
