As a state chapter within the larger umbrella of the American Choral Directors’ Association, Maine ACDA celebrates diversity, strives for equity, and recognizes the importance of creating and establishing spaces where all feel included.  We are committed to supporting choral musicians and choral music by composers from historically underrepresented identities, including but not limited to sexuality, race, gender identity, ethnicity or age. We encourage awareness and positive action among our members regarding issues of diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging, and seek to advance excellence in each of these areas.
