National Orchestra Meeting
Planning for our 2010 National Orchestra Meeting in Winnipeg, June 20-23, is well underway, and we continue to update the Conference page on our website as our plans proceed!  You can read all about it, here.

We’re especially thrilled to announce that Great West Life has come on board as a sponsor for simultaneous interpretation for the main conference sessions, June 21-23.  Our sincere thanks to Great West Life for their support.
New Look for the OC Membership Directory
Thanks to OC staff member Jennifer Caines, the downloadable Membership Directory on our website has been completely overhauled.  Using member input, and inspired by the directory formats of other membership associations, Jennifer has re-designed the directory to be more useful to you.  You can find it here.

If you are unable to locate the information you’re looking for, or you would like the information in a different format, please contact jennifer[at]oc[dot]ca.   We’re here to help!

Survey of Canadian Orchestras’ Community Engagement Programs
Last week, Jennifer emailed a survey on community engagement programs to OC’s professional and community orchestra members.  We plan to share the survey results with participating orchestras, and to use the results in our advocacy work.  Deadline for survey participation is March 15.  If you’d like more information, please get in touch with Jennifer at jennifer[at]oc[dot]ca.  Many thanks to all OC members who are contributing to this document.
