International Organizations

Barbershop Summit

The SUMMIT represents Sweet Adelines Regions 13, 24 and 26, and the Barbershop Harmony Society Evergreen District. Geographically, this covers the area from Alaska through BC. Alberta and Saskatchewan, most of Montana, and all of Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. Its members, men and women barbershoppers (BHS and SAI) come regularly together freely to TALK. Very honestly, this is unique -- and sets the group apart from most leaders in both organizations. Locally, SAI and Barbershop choruses/chapters support each other by helping with shows and contests. They are all committed to protecting and spreading the word about this musical artform.  The summit has been working towards a master calendar for the NW, Alaska, and Canada -- it does exist on the EVG site -- and on Reg 24's site (where it originally came from). and Reg 26 and 13 are working towards accessing it directly through their websites.  This gives us all the ability to look and learn about the education, contests, and educational opportunities throughout the entire SUMMIT area. and also gives us time to avoid major event conflicts when at all possible. For further information, log on to www.barbershopsummit.org, or contact Carol Argue, Director, or Trudy Zonneveld, Director.
