Icebreakers

-Please consider having an icebreaker when you host a meeting

- If you will have one, please inform the Chairperson so it can be placed on the agenda

-Try to find one that nobody will have done before

-Remember that weàre all going to be teacher, so that would work in the classroom would also be best

Clinicians-Are you concerned that you wonàt be able to find one? Here are some ideas:

-Ask your chapter advisor. You may have had him/her for class, but the rest of that state is interested in what they have to say.

-Ask other faculty at your college.

-Ask your director of Music or Education

- If none of these work out and you still donàt have ideas, ask the MCMENC eboard for more ideas

o       If you are not hosting but have ideas on good speakers, please tell the eboard!

*For a clinician who will require larger stipend, compensation may be available from MMEA. Please contact the MCMENC e-board if you have questions about this policy.
