On May 15, 2016 our MASTA Board changed hands. It has been a wonderful experience serving on this board as president the past couple years. I now hand the gavel over to Janis Peterson. She has done an outstanding job as president elect and I look forward to having her serve in her new role. Dan Scott will take over as president elect and start the position with a great deal of knowledge and energy. I look forward to seeing what direction they take the organization together. 
 I want to thank Diane Winder for her lifelong commitment to MASTA. She is leaving the executive board after 6 years of serving but I know she will always be a part of this wonderful organization. I had the pleasure of serving with her, getting to know her and the passion she has for string teaching. Gabe Villasurda is also stepping down as our member at large.  Gabe is a MASTA Lifetime Achievement Award winner and is known throughout the world as a wonderful resource in string education. Gabe has also been a wonderful mentor to me.
Our new board met on the 14th during the MYAF to start our transition and planning for next year. Please contact any of these wonderful volunteers as they continue working for our membership. Please consider helping where you can. If you have any new ideas for MASTA, would like to be involved or have a concern you would like to share please contact any board member. Executive BoardPresident, Janis Peterson:  janispeterson at hotmail.comPresident Elect, Dan Scott:  Dscott1996 at gmail.comTreasurer, Bryan Kolk: bryankolk at gmail.comSecretary, Linda Trotter: Linda.Trotter at wbsd.orgMember at Large, Ellen Boyer: tcboyer111 at hotmail.comPast President, Tim Staudacher: staudachert at gmail.com
