WAMEDA Board

WAMEDA members: Make good use of your personal talents — join a WAMEDA committee! We would love to have more people on our Library, Public Relations, Hafla and Members’ Recital Committees.

Membership Committee

This is one of our busiest committees, so we need lots of volunteers. The duties of the Membership Committee are:

Actively recruit new members for WAMEDA. We would love to have a WAMEDA membership recruiter in every dance group! We need to build our membership so we can be the strong and effective organization we want to be.
Maintain the membership records.
Maintain & produce the Annual Membership Directory.
Maintain a listing of area members who are teachers & produce the Teacher Registry.
Establish a network of telephone communication via a Telephone Tree Committee.
Maintain the email group list & send out periodic updates, announcements & reminders of WAMEDA events.

Please contact Dorsey Vengrouskie (Pegleg Meg/Hadria Bajack).

Newsletter Committee

Produce & distribute the bi-monthly newsletter to WAMEDA members in good standing. We would be delighted to have a newsletter correspondent in every troupe or studio to keep our newsletter up to date on who is dancing where, when are new classes starting, and all the information about local dancers so that our newsletter will continue to be a great source for information. Please contact Terry Faith (Bahiya).

Public Relations Committee

Publicize WAMEDA’s activities & Mid-Eastern dance news. Please contact Veda Sereem.

Library Committee

Maintain & manage the WAMEDA Library, which we have recently re-acquired. Before anything can be rented out, the library’s contents contents must be uncrated, sorted, cataloged in a database, restored, archived & shelved. There are hundreds of videos, DVDs, CDs, tapes, books, & more. Unfortunately, our old library database died with the computer on which it was stored, so we have to start from scratch on this job. If you can give us a hand, please contact a member of the Library Committee: Tessa Garner, Veda Sereem, or Joyce Jackson (Jamiel Bient).
