Sister Singers Network is alive and well in spite of the pandemic.

In fact, the Zoom craze of the past year has led to our being more connected than ever, since we are spread so far apart. This newsletter
will give you some info about what is going on.

Coming up this week!

Did you know about these wonderful SSN roundtables? Keep an eye out for notification through choruswomen.

The next Leadership Forum for Organizational and Operational Leaders is this Thursday, May 20, 8:00-9:15 pm eastern time.

Hosted by Argerie and Kathy of Windsong in Cleveland, this is an invaluable way to compare notes. Open to board members, committee members, anyone involved in a SSN member chorus who is, or aspires to be a leader.

Use this link to RSVP and request your Zoom link for the session.

Artistic Director Roundtable:
Anywhere from 3-12 Artistic Directors have been meeting every other week for almost a year to share ideas, strategies, information, and to support one another. Keep your eye out for choruswomen emails from Miriam Davidson.

We need your updated chorus photo!

We are asking every chorus to send us a full-chorus photo for our new website. Please send it to this link Chorus-Submitted Photos and use a file name that indicates the chorus, date, and possibly location or event of the photo.

Here is Windsong, Cleveland's Feminist Chorus
