Hurricane Helene Losses & Needs Data Collection
October 9, 2024
Dear Music Educators,
Several members of our community have experienced great losses as a result of Hurricane Helene in late September. The recovery from this unprecedented, life-altering, and historic weather event will be long and difficult.
If you are a member who has been personally impacted during this event, we see you and we want you to know you are not alone. Together, we want to support you during this time of need and create the opportunity to listen to what needs arise for you as you continue the incredible task of recovery.
To that end, NCMEA is collecting data from music educators to share with potential funders or donors to assist in music education recovery efforts for impacted students, teachers, schools, colleges, and universities.
If you have experienced damage or loss to your classroom or music program, we encourage you to share information at https://bit.ly/NCMEAHelene. NCMEA is seeking to match funders or donors with areas of need, and the information you provide will be helpful to those who want to assist in a targeted way.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact NCMEA President Catherine Butler or NCMEA Executive Director Susan Heiserman.
