Brothers of the Northeast District –
I am pleased to announce to you the individuals that will serve as Northeast District Governors for the upcoming 2015-2017 biennium.
Marie Burleigh will return in her role as a Northeast District Governor. You all have worked with her throughout the past several years, and I know that Marie is excited to continue in this role. She is a valuable resource to the active members of the Northeast District, and I am confident that she is going to continue to help guide the district officers and the entire district as the NED continues to Strive for the Highest. Additionally, Marie serves as a valuable member of the national leadership team in this capacity.
I am pleased to announced that joining Ms. Burleigh as an NED Governor will be Mr. John Leonard. Mr. Leonard currently serves as the associate director of bands at Northeastern University in Boston, MA where he is the Director of the Pep Band, Director of the Concert Band, and manages several administrative tasks within the department including the scholarship program. For the past several years John worked alongside DCI Hall of Fame recipients George N. Parks and Thomas P. Hannum, writing music for and instructing the Power and Class of New England, the UMass Marching Band, and served as the Director of the UMass Hoop Band from 2008 until 2012. John is an honorary member of the Epsilon Nu chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at UMass, and the Delta Delta chapter of Tau Beta Sigma at UMass. He is also the sponsor of the Nu Theta chapter of Kappa Kappa Psi at Northeastern University.
If you would like to send a congratulatory e-mail or an introduction, you may reach John at jo.leonard@neu.edu.
I look forward to seeing the great things the Northeast District will continue to accomplish. The work of your district officers and governors will help push this district to new heights. Remember, tour work matters, band matters, and Kappa Kappa Psi Matters.
AEA,
Jack Lee
National President
Kappa Kappa Psi National Honorary Band Fraternity
