Message from the National President

Greetings from the National Federation of Music Clubs! It is my distinct honor to serve as the
34 th National President of the largest nonprofit organization in America that promotes and
supports American music, performers, and music education. It is also my pleasure to be a
lifelong resident of the fine state of Mississippi! I grew up with the Federation by participating in the
Junior Festivals, beginning at the age of eight. If you are not a member of our organization,
please enjoy exploring our website and see what opportunities we have to offer for professional
and amateur musicians, benefactors, volunteers, music lovers, music teachers, music students, and supportive parents. It would be our pleasure for you to join us!
