Hello! I would like to introduce our organization to you. We are the Missouri Women Band Directors Association (MWBDA). We are a subsidiary chapter of the Women Band Directors International (https://womenbanddirectors.org/) Our state organization in Missouri was chartered in 1995 and since then has worked to create a support system for women teaching instrumental music in the state of Missouri. We seek to provide opportunities for collaboration, camaraderie and the promotion of research and excellence in teaching within the world of band.
We are seeking sponsors for the MWBDA so that we can continue to support women and young women in our field, but also to provide learning opportunities for ALL band directors in Missouri. We utilize our funding to sponsor clinicians both at the MBA and MMEA annual conferences. We also offer scholarships for first-time attendees at the annual MBA conference in June in the effort to increase membership and involvement of our women band directors in the MBA. We encourage and promote collaboration with MBA and MMEA to find new ways of reaching out and connecting with women in the field of band.
The field of band directors is a diverse field filled with people of all genders, races, gender-identities and sexual orientations. We seek to promote the inclusivity of all of the many various people in our field, but most importantly to support women, and particularly young women, finding their way in a (still) mostly male-dominated field.
The people who teach in the world of band are wonderful, devoted, welcoming individuals, but sometimes finding your way at the start, or sometimes making connections even later in your career can be extremely challenging. Sometimes women directors may be in the unique position of coming back to their careers after working at home for several years. This can also create additional challenges of making connections and feeling welcome. We hope to assist both young women as well as more experienced women with these transitions while also providing a welcoming place for them to “live” in our world of band.
