Hi fellow shared weight callesr I just put this message out on the organizers list-serve but I know some of us callers are also organizers so I wanted to share here with you. Plus you know lots of organizers! (I'll also share with the musician group.) ============================================
Some of you may have heard about this but I wanted to share some exciting organizer information from CDSS. *Please share it with other organizers in your area! *This information is for ANY traditional dance, music or song organizers (e.g., contra dance; old time jam sessions; scandinavian dance; trad song circles; etc). *SURVEY of TRADITIONAL DANCE, MUSIC and SONG ORGANIZERS in the US:* CDSS wants to hear from you in order to inform their work in supporting local organizers throughout the US! What you are organizing? What challenges do you face? What support/connections would help you in the work you do? CDSS recently conducted a study of Canadian organizers (article here <https://www.cdss.org/images/newsletter_archives/columns/CDSS_News_Spring_2018_News_from_Canada_TDMS_Survey.pdf>) and has taken the findings to further improve their support of local organizers. The US survey available until April 13th: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DCSRMZG Note that multiple individuals from the same organization can fill out the survey. Please share widely with organizers in many traditions! *NEW CDSS E-MAIL BLASTS for ORGANIZERS* CDSS has just launched a new organizer email newsletter to support local organizers of traditional dance music and song. The e-news will be emailed out four times a year. Expect notifications about new resources, upcoming training opportunities, inspiring success stories and more.
