Being a member of ACDA can help you become a better choral conductor, teacher, and performer.
NWACDA is one of seven regional divisions in ACDA.

ACDA strives to elevate choral music’s position in American society through arts advocacy and provides many high-quality publications, conventions, festivals, clinics, workshops, and the opportunity to network within the choral community.

HOW DO I JOIN NWACDA?
Choral directors, institutions, and music-related businesses join ACDA by completing a membership application and submitting it with the current membership dues to the ACDA National Office in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma either online or by mail/fax.
As a member of ACDA, each choral director also becomes a member of the state chapter in the state in which they live as well as the corresponding regional division (grouping of several states) of ACDA. ACDA membership is not three separate memberships, but one membership in the three distinct levels of the Association.
