Sweet Adelines International 75th Jubilee Commemorative Album

We held new and different kinds of educational events. In 2012, we introduced AHA – A Cappella Harmony Academy. The first AHA was held at Chapman University in Orange, California (USA) and was a smaller, more intimate version of IES (International Education Symposium). In 2013, we held an event called “Side by Side” also at Chapman University in Orange, California (USA). It was a training seminar for directors, judges, and faculty.

Sharon Babb, 2013 President’s Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, “has graced our organization with her dedication, passion, and visionary approach to helping us be better musicians – and better women. She has given her talents with an open heart, and her mark on Sweet Adelines International will be everlasting.” —Renée Porzel, Past International President, 2012-2014

Bowling for Barbershop was a popular membership campaign in both 2013 and 2014! It served as a fundraising and awareness campaign, as well as a fun and easy way to engage fans and cultivate new members. Melodeers Chorus won the 2013 campaign prize - 100 pairs of shoes. Pictured are Melodeers members Carolyn Mathewson, Sarajoy Pickholtz, Dina Hendershot, and Amy Kritzman.
