IMTA Local Associations embody MTNA/IMTA membership at the most personal level. Getting connected to a local connects you to other professionals in your area, a powerful network of teaching professionals committed to the vision and values of MTNA.

Many engaged in a local association love the camaraderie of connecting face to face with other teachers whether through monthly meetings and programs, Christmas dinner parties, collaborative student recitals, meeting up at the state conference, or a simple lunch during the week.

Benefits include

• Performance opportunities
• Festivals and contests that motivate students to continue study
• Professional development for teachers
• Annual local association grants
• Support for certification
• Opportunities to make friends with common interests

Local Associations, Websites, and Dues

Indiana has eight active local associations. If you are interested in starting a local in your area or reinstating an inactive local, please contact Linda Witchie, VP of Local Associations.

Dues for local associations can either be paid when joining/renewing your MTNA/IMTA membership or they can be paid directly to the local. However, teachers must be a member of MTNA and IMTA in order to participate in a local association. Dues are set by each individual association.
