Get a front-row seat to the latest insights for Ohio music teachers and OMEA members. In this episode, Executive Director Jay Wardeska pulls back the curtain on OMEA's operations including the finances: where the money actually comes from, why rising costs haven't been passed on to members or students, how the organization's mission drives every decision — and makes the case that OMEA is so much more than adjudicated events and a conference.
Whether you're looking for a quick listen on your commute or want to watch the discussion, this interview-based podcast is available on all major podcast platforms and in video format on the OMEA YouTube Channel. Don't miss out on this backstage pass to all things OMEA!
