2024 Meetings and Activities
2024 Meetings and Activities
Dear NETMCDO Community,
The Ground Crew (NETMCDO's Planning Committee) has been busy discussing new ideas and new ways to meet the needs of our members as we approach our 30th year of NETMCDO gatherings in 2025! Every few years, it’s a good idea to reexamine your priorities and how you do things, right?
One change underway immediately:
We are scheduling online one-hour Zoom gatherings
every other month, beginning on
Thursday, April 25, from 2–3 pm EST.
These gatherings are opportunities to share ideas and solutions that get at what matters most in helping musicians forge successful careers:
- They will feature our trademark use of Open Space and a format of direct, confidential, and open conversation to ensure that everyone leaves with new insights, contacts, and tools.
- After April, the next Gathering will be on Tuesday, June 25, at 4 pm EST. Please mark your calendars.
- August, October, and December dates will follow.
Why six gatherings a year instead of 1 or 2?
- More day/time options will allow more people to participate; more answers to problems will be found; more success stories will be shared.
- We want to spend more time with everyone, but only one hour at a time (don’t be offended).
- We want to break free of the model of a yearly, in-person “big box” conference that really doesn’t meet our needs.
We hope you can join us and see the change.
To share ideas and solutions that get at what matters most in helping musicians forge succcessful careers...
Sincerely, The NETMCDO Ground Crew: Angela Beeching, John Blanchard, Mandy Brockhaus, Drew X Coles, Casey Molino Dunn, John Steinmetz, and Nathaniel Zeisler
