The American Choral Directors Association (ACDA) has as its highest purpose to encourage the finest in choral music and to promote its development in all ways, including performance, composition, publication and research. 

ACDA is organized in the United States into seven geographical divisions, each with its own activities. In addition, each of the 50 states has its own officers, thereby making it possible for members to be in close proximity to persons actively involved in choral music. 

ACDA has numerous national committees engaged in exploring materials, techniques, and standards. Among these are committees representing children's, junior and senior high school, college and university choirs; choral music in the community and in the church; vocal jazz groups; ethnic music; male and female chorus; and activities for students. 

ACDA sponsors festivals, clinics, and workshops on the state level as well as division and national conventions where ideas are shared and explored, problems discussed, and music is heard. Industry representatives frequently exhibit material at these conventions; members have the opportunity to examine first-hand the latest publications and music-related supplies. 

ACDA publications include The Choral Journal, published ten months per year, which contains important articles, reviews of books, records, music, and general information about choral music and musicians throughout the world. 

ACDA has student chapters in many high schools, colleges, and universities whose member are contributing fresh ideas to the thrust of the national organization.
