Women Banding Together (WBT) was founded by Virginia Allen, Laura Johnson, Jenny L. Neff, and Lori Schwartz Reichl in May 2020. WBT cultivates mentoring relationships among current, future, and retired women band directors at all levels, including band directors who identify as female or non-binary. WBT provides a platform to explore unique issues for women band directors, to connect women band directors who seek support in the growth and development of their careers, and to assist anyone of any gender in the mentorship of current and aspiring women band directors. Since its founding, WBT has hosted numerous panel discussions and virtual happy hours to discuss numerous topics including “Reflecting on Our Classrooms & Communities Through the Lens of #BlackLivesMatter,” “Instrumental Instruction During COVID-19,” “Actionable Steps Towards Change,” and “The Student and Parent Voices Through the Lens of #BlackLivesMatter.”
