CMS: An Opportunity for National Giving to the Arts
Tim Justus
In 1990, when Tim Justus began his teaching career at the University of the Ozarks, the only professional organization he knew of was The College Music Society. Upon the recommendation of his mentor, he joined the Society and has been a member ever since.
In his current position of Chair of the Department of Music at Dickinson State University in North Dakota, he finds that he takes advantage of the many services CMS offers to its members such as the Directory and the Music Vacancy List. In addition, he enjoys the Newsletter and Symposium as they keep him up on the news of the profession. The website also has been helpful to him in providing up-to-date information on conferences and other professional activities.
Tim presented a paper at the Southern regional meeting in Mississippi in 2004 and has attended several other national and regional meetings. He hopes to have increased involvement in his current region by becoming more active in the Rocky Mountain Regional Chapter.
He has always emphasized the arts in his philanthropic giving. In his view, the arts say more to what it means to be human than any other aspect of life. Tim contributes to only one national music organization—The College Music Society. He says, “I always feel good about giving to an arts organization—I want to be able to give more and hope that I can in the future.”
