At the recent Local 660 Executive Board Meeting held February 18 at 1755 Cambridge Drive, State College, the following leadership changes occurred: Chris Byrne resigned as President, but remains on the Executive Board where he feels he can be a more effective advocate for local musicians. Chris Lee stepped up from Vice-President to President; the Vice-President's position remains open.

If you or anyone you know wishes to help local musicians by becoming an officer of Local 660, please have them contact John Thompson at secretary@afm660.org.

Also, John Kovalchik resigned from the Board to spend more time with his family, students, and music. We recognize and commend John for the many years of work he put into Local 660 as President, Board Member, and MPF Coordinator. He will remain as the coordinator of the Olin Butt Scholarship Fund.

The Board is just beginning to evaluate the results of our recent survey of local musicians. These results will help us as we continue to work on revising the Bylaws and establishing a Wage Scale.

For more information about the survey, contact Chris Lee at chris@boalmuseum.com
