Grand Rapids Chorus of Sweet Adelines (GRSA) is proud to announce that two of our Members have passed the Sweet Adelines International Director Certification Program (DCP). Our new Director, Holli Houtz, is now a Certiffied Director. She passed the Program in only six months, which is unusually fast. GRSA Visual Coordinator, Pattee Bender, earned an Approved Director certificate. Chorus Team Coordinator, Sue Kuzee, gave Holli and Pattee their certificates at Monday Night’s rehearsal.
The Director Certification Program is an educational, self-paced program, designed to provide opportunities to validate the skills and knowledge required to direct a Sweet Adelines chorus. The DCP certification is awarded to directors, assistant directors, section leaders or anyone wanting a better understanding of our barbershop art form after passing 10 evaluations. Most of the evaluations are written, one is by observation, and there are 4 surveys from chorus members.
Congratulations to our super stars Holli and Pattee.
