I had first heard about ACDA in high school, when my choral director would have some ACDA choral journals lying around and would let us look at them. They always seemed to have very interesting information in them, and since I've been here I've heard numerous faculty talk about ACDA. The other day, my choir director even told us that she is the President-elect for the CT chapter, so that made me want to go on their website and learn more.
There are many great components to the ACDA website. Similar to that of NAFME's, there is a forum section, but here it is strictly choral, with discussions on repertoire, rehearsal management, etc. There's also a classifieds section with posts for job opportunities such as paid chorus members, soloists, and conductors, along with scores for sale. There are also repertoire lists for groups ranging from small college level choirs to middle school girls choirs. This is definitely a website I'll look into more, and will definitely consider joining the Hartt ACDA chapter!

Great overview of ACDA and its website! It's great that you provided a link. It is pretty cool that Dr. Flores will be the President next year!
