Hello fellow New Englanders!  I am Kerry Leavell, the new NER/AMTAS president, and am thrilled to be on this board for the very first time.  I just finished my first year at Lesley, training with Lisa Kynvi, Allison Zucca and Tim Cohen, serving many wonderful children at Whittier Street Health Center and Perkins School for the Blind.  I also had the pleasure of working with Lisa as she did an eight-week music therapy pilot program at Floating Hospital for Children, which was funded by Opera Boston.  I will be working there, exclusively, this next year as I finish my studies at Lesley. 

The student board is already off to a running start and I expect that this will be an especially productive year for us.  Major topics of current discussion include encouraging student attendance at the national conference, planning service projects, and building a NER/AMTAS website.  I have been pleasantly surprised at the seriousness with which each member views his/her position as well as how quickly the group has gelled since being elected at the regional conference.  I greatly value this opportunity to serve you and our region’s students in this way and am looking forward to the months ahead!
