Important Information
In 2020, the WMEA Associate Membership was renamed the WMEA Partner Membership. This name more accurately represents the true function of the membership for businesses, organizations and schools. As partners we share goals to promote and enhance music education.
This membership is available through WMEA only and cannot be purchased through NAfME. The membership runs from September 1 through August 31 annually. Early bird prices run through June 30 each year. Benefits, such as reduced advertising rates and inclusion in our Partner Member Directory are strictly for WMEA partner members.
