Member of the Year 2021

In 2021,  Fox Valley Music Teacher Association unanimously selected Barbara Erickson as our member of the year.  

While running a busy studio in Shawano, WI, Barbara has consistently taken on leadership roles since joining WMTA in 1988.   She has served not only as Chair for District Auditions in Green Bay and Shawano before FVMTA formed its own district, but also as a Co-Chair for WMTA State Conference in Green Bay.  She has served as treasurer for the seven years she’s been a member of FVMTA.  In addition to those duties, she continues to be invaluable in handling registration for district auditions, Young Artist Festival, and Monster Concert.
We are so pleased as Barbara continues serving FVMTA in these important capacities, and are proud to honor her as our 2020 member of the year!
