Hello, IJRCS Editorial Board members -- I hope you are having a good start to the summer. Please do access the Symposium's virtual exhibit room if you have not done so already; it is open to all ACDA members through July 15. https://acda.org/conferences/symposium-for-research-in-choral-singing/

Below is the Call for Nominations for openings on the IJRCS Editorial Board and for the position of IJRCS Associate Editor. Nominations are due September 15, and we will make our collective recommendations in October to the ACDA National Standing Committee on Research and Publications. Watch for further information about how we'll review and rank the nominees.

Please disseminate this widely . . . and consider working with someone to nominate you for the position of Associate Editor (essentially Editor-designate). This announcement will appear in coming issues of Choral Journal and the MayDay Group newsletter. Please share with other outlets as you can, including internationally.
