Invest in the future of Sweet Adelines International through an estate or endowed gift.
"She was a one-woman operation back then, a real pioneer. It’s hard to think of what it was when you think of how it is now. Nancy was the stability. She kept it all going. She was the anchor.”
–Norma Moore, Past International President (1973-75).
Nancy Bergman joined Sweet Adelines International in 1953. She served as managing director of Sweet Adelines headquarters office (1957–1968), chorus director, international faculty, certified judge (Music and Sound category), and on the International Board of Directors. Nancy is also a prolific arranger, a Queen of Harmony (Mississippi Misses, 1954), and was honored with the 2002 President’s Lifetime Achievement Award for more than 50 years of devoted service to Sweet Adelines International.
