Mary Luehrsen is retiring after spending 22 remarkable years at the helm of The NAMM Foundation, and ReVoicing the Future is celebrating her singular impact as she leaves an incredible legacy of trailblazing advocacy for music education. Join Natalie, Steph, and Mary herself as they reminisce on Mary's own journey through the music industry, some of her proudest moments for the Foundation, and on why following moments of quiet curiosity is the key to an authentic career.

Meet Gillian Desmarais, the K-12 Music Production and Engineering Teacher for Maplewood Public Schools in Minnesota. Gillian joins ReVoicing the Future, to share her journey into the music industry, how her passion for music technology spreads into the classroom, and to educate other teachers about incorporating the curriculum into their programs through Sound Tech Ed. We talk about mentorship and advocating for yourself and your expertise. We even broadly dive into the science of hearing and how it differs for men and women. Yes, you did read that correctly!
