Press Kit

 

Chapter and Program Leaders, all members!
Expand our reach and help get the word out about 2024 National Conference
and celebrate the OAKE community’s 50th Anniversary!

 

At events, play the conference slideshow on repeat before your event and during breaks. Try these conversation ideas: 

  • Ask who is attending and urge conversation about plans, roommates, and travel
  • Ask for past attendees to share what benefits they found. Learning and connections!
  • If you’ve been in the Participant Choir, share about it
  • Announce important upcoming dates like the Early Bird deadline

Ask your leaders to commit early and spread the word for others to join you. Grow the movement. Share what you’re excited to see!

Follow OAKE on social media and ask someone on your team to regularly share the posts.

  • If someone beloved in your area is presenting, tag and celebrate when OAKE posts about their event!
  • Use our premade Social Media images below to share the conference with your friends and colleagues

Some talking points

  • Session proposals are due May 1! Your colleagues may just need a nudge to take the plunge
  • Bringing your singers is a special experience. The Choir Committee is providing more guidance to help you audition your singers for the first time. (Resources online over the summer, auditions due October 1)
  • The conference is for music educators. Kodály training is not at all necessary and everyone can benefit
  • OAKE members get a discounted rate. Login and renew before you register
  • It’s our 50th as an organization, let’s come together and make it BIG!
  • You’ve asked for a location with accessible flights and hotel rates – this is it!
  • Everyone’s invited to evening socials and the national choir concert
  • There are affinity groups and special topic tracks
  • The annual membership meeting is the General Assembly on Friday of the conference

Gear to wear at local music events!
