Ruth Edwards served as MTNA president from 1995 to 1997. She has held positions on the faculties of Texas Wesleyan College, Northwestern University and the University of New Hampshire until retirement. She was also a contributing columnist for Keyboard World and reviewed new music and books for Notes and AMT.
Tell us about your tenure as MTNA president.
I emphasized the importance of every member's responsibility for the success and future of MTNA. It was an honor to serve with the support of an excellent board, headquarters staff, and Executive Directors Shirley Raut and Gary Ingle.
You're an avid proponent of volunteerism. What can we do?
Get involved, even in the smallest way, in something that you believe in and is important to you: MTNA? Arts Advocacy? Literacy? Your special talents are needed.
How can we increase MTNA membership?
Isn't it strange that I knew nothing about MTNA until I was asked to join the New Hampshire Music Teachers Association, founded in 1967? Search out the unasked and share your enthusiasm for the association.
