Welcome to the Retired Members Page!
Retirees: If you are a retired member, and are willing to stay involved in PMEA and share your expertise, please take the PMEA Retiree Resource Survey at your earliest convenience.
Non-retirees: If you are an active PMEA member, officer, council representative, festival host, or workshop planner, retired members stand ready to help. Click on the R3 Index and Registry links below for access to highly motivated and very experienced (but FREE) consultants/advisers for your next PMEA or music education program/project.
The current edition of Retired Resource Registry is now available, along with the R3 Help Index to be used when looking for help in a specific area. Also see the list of Available Conductors and Accompanists.
Mock Interview Volunteers
Besides the names listed above in the Retired Resource Registry, several other PMEA members have indicated they are interested and available to serve as “virtual employment screeners” for interview practice workshops of music education majors. Higher Education members or PCMEA chapter advisors should contact these people directly for their help in mock “question and answer” sessions to help prepare collegiates for marketing themselves during the coming job search process. (Please email Paul Fox if you would like your name and email added to this list.)
