Congratulations, Dr. Griffin,

On being recognized as a winner of the Dr. William P. Foster Project Community Development Award. He was one of 75 teachers nominated from across the United States and was chosen as the winner in the North Central Division, which encompasses ten states.

The Dr. William P. Foster Project is a collaboration of the Music Education Alliance including the National Band Association, College Band Directors Association and Music for All. The Foster Project serves band directors in underserved and under-resourced communities. You can learn more about the Music Education Alliance and the Dr. William P.

Dr. Griffin will be recognized in several national forums in December at the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic held at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL from December 19-22.

The Midwest Clinic has been in existence for 75 years with over 6,000 band directors in attendance that participate in literally hundreds of clinics and concerts over 4 days. The exhibit hall hosts hundreds of vendors providing access to new music, technology, and music products. For more info about the Midwest Clinic, go to https://www.midwestclinic.org/. The Midwest Clinic has a track completely devoted to band directors in underserved and under-resourced communities.

Dr. Griffin serves as a model for other teachers in underserved, under-resourced communities. He will be interviewed for his story which will be shared with band directors across the United States in the coming months.

As a winner of this prestigious award, a school (s) in which Dr. Griffin teaches will receive instruments, accessories, clinicians, and subscriptions courtesy of Conn-Selmer Instruments, Yamaha Music Corporation and KHS America.
