The NER Student Affairs Advisory Board represent NER to the AMTA SAAB. Nationally the SAAB serves as advisors, and mentors to the members of AMTAS. The SAAB also forms a connection between students in AMTAS, and AMTA. In addition to representing NER at the national level the NER/SAAB supports NER/AMTAS members locally. This includes fundraising, increasing community awareness of music therapy, skill development opportunties, annual AMTA/instrument scholarchips, and transition to the professional level.

Our New NER-AMTAS Student Officers are:


PRESIDENT: Jared Leaderman 
Berklee VP:  Stephanie Johnson  
Lesley VP:  Luke Chandler  
Anna Maria VP:  TBD
SECRETARY:  Jess Kaptcianos 
TREASURER: Naoko Okamoto 
Chair of Public Relations:  Irene Antonellis
Parlimentarian:  Denise Oliveras 

Bylaws were passed and approved by the student board at conference.  The constitution is still under revision, so they students were not able to vote on it at this past conference.

Note the change in title for "Chair of Public Relations" was approved. Parlimentarian position was added as well. The Vice President position, as part of their duties, will now help to plan and organize annual "Passages Conference" as well.

The students had  a variety of fundraisers throughout the year; (including selling NER logo tee-shirts, MT bumper stickers, a concert at Westborough, AIDS walk).

Kevin and I chose two names at random for the student musical instrument scholarships awarded at Conference.  Faculty Chairs from each of the 3 schools chose one graduating senior from each school.
