by Bosa Mora, MEISA National President



MEISA students are working to build relationships in the music industry to strengthen their network and communication. Here are some updates from a few of our chapters.

Here are some updates from a few of our chapters:

Albright College

Albright College's MEISA chapter was chosen to host this year’s MEISA Mid-Atlantic Regional Conference on September 20, 2008. The conference had seven panels that covered different fields of the music industry, including music marketing, entertainment law, touring, artist management, and publishing. Twenty-seven panelists were present to represent the different fields and we had eight sponsors. It was an all day event that ended with benefit: MUSIC, a concert that benefited Vh1’s Save the Music Foundation.

Desales University

Students at Desales just started a new MEISA chapter in Center Valley Pennsylvania in 2008. They have long been interested in MEISA and have had an overwhelming response of people who want to join. Now, they are officially joined MEISA and have also established a faculty advisor. They had their first event on February 20th with The Tonight Life and Hollywood Ave as well as local bands that performed.

National Board

The Executive Board is working to get the word out about the conference and follow up on the goals set out at the beginning of the school year. We have accomplished the first successful summer meeting as well as organizing the newsletter and technology required to distribute it. We have also communicated and organized chapters in registration for meisa and the conference. We are currently reviewing applicants for our contests as well as preparing for the Conference coming up soon.
