Who are we?
The WIMEA program connects pre-service music educators to the state professional organization through leadership opportunities, service projects, awards programs, professional development, and participation in ILMEA district and state activities.
Member benefits
Collegiate members of ILMEA will receive a discounted registration rate for IMEC and professional development opportunities. Additionally, only WIMEA chapter members will be invited to volunteer at IMEC for free registration.
Each chapter that registers will also receive a digital copy of the Illinois Music Educator Journal for use in chapter activities and the chapter’s collegiate members.

Take a look at some of the stuff we've done!
(All featured in-person programs were either prior to the COVID-19 pandemic or socially distanced. For more info about gatherings on campus, please visit www.wiu.edu.)
During Meetings, it is expected that you:
Are kind and respectful to all members and guests.
Are muted unless you have a question or a comment.
Make our meetings a respectful place for everyone! This means that all opinions are respected and valued.
A Gold member is a member who attends at least 90% of all WIMEA meetings and programs. This is a member who helps with at least three fundraising times during each fundraiser.
Purple Member
A Purple member is a member who attends at least 70% of all WIMEA meetings and programs. This is a member who helps with at least one to two fundraising times during each fundraiser.
A Regular member is a member who attends at least 50% of all WIMEA meetings and programs. This is a member who helps with no fundraising times during each fundraiser.
*** These ranks are to encourage attendance to meetings and programs. You do not have to be a certain rank to attend meetings and programs. However, at outreach events such as presenting at another club, you must be at least a Purple or Gold member.
These ranks also affect payment assistance in special events such as IMEC.
