As a community of leaders, CMS is launching a Presidential Task Force on Leading Change. Co-chaired by acclaimed pianist Awadagin Pratt (CCM) and leading change agent Mary Javian (Curtis Institute), the task force will conduct a yearlong examination of the state of the profession in and out of the academy and recommend a bold, inter-institutional project that tests and implements strategies for leading systemic change in 2022 and beyond. Task Force membership will represent the diversity of our society, the profession, and the breadth of our academic institutions. Interested parties should complete and submit the Task Force Application Form no later than March 1, 2021.
