Chapter at Large Membership basics:
For our friends who aren’t able to participate in weekly chorus activities, but love staying connected with Region 10, competing in quartets, or attending regional events, Chapter at Large is a great option!
For questions or to discuss alternative payment options, contact finance@region10sai.org.
To inquire about non-chorus membership options, contact membership@region10sai.org.
- Scoresheets prior to 2009 were not uploaded to the International Website.
We are working to obtain and post as many past scoresheets as possible.
Your Region 10 leadership is listening. Along with the support of Sweet Adelines International, we stand in solidarity against racism and stand for diversity and inclusion. In our efforts to help facilitate and support respectful conversations about these difficult topics, Region 10 leadership is being thoughtful and thorough as we delve into the research and education. During this important process, if you wish to bring concerns or suggestions to our attention, we encourage you to reach out to us at membership@region10sai.org.
Diversity and Inclusion
We celebrate our differences as essential to the rich harmony that unites us. As we recognize barbershop’s African American origins and learn from our exclusionary past toward women of color, we reject discrimination and unwaveringly strive toward greater awareness, openness, and understanding of each other.
Culture of Belonging
We create harmony where every voice matters. We foster a culture that provides a joyful place to share our uniqueness within a global community united in song.
We invite you to share the following resources regarding change in our organization:
- Our History Video: (starts at 17:44)
- Inclusive Music Selection (The Pitch Pipe, October 2016)
- Toward a More Inclusive Sweet Adelines (The Pitch Pipe, July 2018)
