Mentorship

The Mentorship Committee of Women Band Directors International is a dedicated group of experienced music educators passionate about mentoring the next generation of women band directors. Our mission as a committee is to provide support to empower the next generation of women band directors, including but not limited to:

• Creating professional development opportunities for members of WBDI through conversation, coaching, visits, sharing of resources, ideas and experience 

• Fostering positive relationships amongst the women of our profession that will lead to the sharing of wisdom, experience, and encouragement that promote teaching/making music at a high level, program development, and professional longevity

• Collaborating as women in the field of band directorship in projects that promote connectivity and growth as a community

As many of us were the first women in our current band director positions, our goal is to not be the last.
