KMEA Membership Requirement
The NCKMEA board voted to require membership in NAfME-KMEA in order to register students for NCKMEA honor groups.
This is in line with the KMEA policy requiring membership in order to register students for KMEA All-State ensembles.
- Join NAfME. Indicate Kansas in your membership profile.
- Set up an account in the KMEA Members website.
This creates a connection between your NAfME profile and KMEA's registration systems.
- After creating an account in the KMEA Members site, select your district affiliation so you may participate in elections.
- When registering students for NC district or All-State ensembles, your NAfME ID will be part of the registration.
- Do not wait until the deadline day to start this process!
